It's actually rather common.  I haven't had to do this with any
BITNET lists (yet), but I often have users who subscribe to many
lists and then skip reading their mail for weeks at a time.  Their
mailbox fills up, /usr/mail fills up, etc...
 
I'll give one 'hey, clean up your mailbox' warning, then delete the
user from the list myself.  My obligations to keep email flowing do
not extend to allowing users arbitrarily large mailboxes.
