The biggest issue that lug.org.uk has had is people who report mailing list posts that they asked for as spam, and people who use services like Spamcop as an all-or-nothing indicator of whether to accept the email. The combination of the two is unfortunate as Spamcop will list on a single unverified report. Even the worst abuses of top posting, replying to entire digests with a single word, and so on, are not really noticeable traffic-wise. Posing of large images and other binary attachments occasionally is, if you look for it, but most lists seem to quite effectively self-moderate in these outrageous cases. > Once a single 1MB image is attached, those 2000 posts become 2GB of data > to ship. (And bounce back )-: The default size limit in Mailman is 40KiB. There are also fairly good attachment type filters in Mailman which can be turned on if desired.
