We all seem to have one or more of these people.  You were being kind to
set him to digest.  I set to nomail.

LISTSERV(tm) doesn't do this, it is Sendmail that is doing so.  This is
normal behavior when a transient delivery error occurs (mailbox full is a
transient error, because it might be cleared up shortly)
 
>should I just set the subscriber to "NOMAIL"?
 
As noted above I set them to nomail, then I send them a pointed msg
saying essentially 'cleanup your mailbox and keep it that way or you're
off the list.'  I would not send the msg until monday in this case, I
would assume their mbx is still full and would wait for it to clear.  I
give them 2 bounces of the msg and then leave them on nomail until they
write to say 'what happened'.  Periodically I check the list and if they
have been nomail for along time, I just delete them.
