I don't think there is any good way of doing it. If user subscribes
manually to it, you probably wouldn't want to unsubscribe then, right?

This would be possible with a redesigned autocreate plugin where it
didn't actually create/subscribe any mailboxes. Instead it would just
hook into LIST/LSUB commands to list them if they're not already listed.
