This just recently happened to a list I co-maintain.. overnight.. when
neither of the listowners where online to catch it.. fortunately, the 50
posts/day limit was set.. and the list got frozen..

For added protection, I added a 5 post/day limit per subscriber to that
list's header too.. no problem for that particular list.. and told the
subscribers what was done.

I also NUKED the person with the auto reply.. usually I set them to
NOPOST NOMAIL .. but this one kinda ticked me off ;-)
