A problem that is ocurring here with increasing frequency is that some users sign up to one or more extremely busy lists and accumulate hundreds of reader files from those lists. This can shut down listserv, as it should. Is there a way I can tell Listserv not to distribute list postings to people on Templevm who have an excessive number of rdr files? I would like to be able to set a variable to establish such a limit so that Listserv rejects mailings to those who exceed the specified number of rdr files. Does such feature exist now? If not, how would I go about writing a patch to the listserv code to implement this on my own accord? I am reasonably sure that the mailer agent we use can be configured to enforce such a limit, however, I do not have access to it and those who do would not be willing to take the initiative to establish a maximum reader file limit.
