Yes it is.

He's not reading list messages by Email. Like me, he's now reading the
list via an Email-to-Usenet gateway (GMame).

Currently he's dumping list messages, rather than just turning it off.

If he turns off receiving list messages in the list prefs, those emails
are never sent. If he just blackholes the messages, they get sent, consume
bandwidth en route, then get dumped unread ... which is a waste.
