I know nothing about the Chile-l list specificially.  It appears that you have
a user at your site who did an unfriendly site.  Since you indicate you are a
bitnet site, then you can unsubscribe for this user with the FOR command.
Thus you can take care of this problem, created by one of your users, by
yourself.

that is really no business of yours.  If you want to limit the amount of mail
that your users get, that is fine, but don't dictate what others do.

Excuse me, posting to the list is the inapproprate thing to do.  If you are
having problems, you should be sending personal mail to the OWNER of that
specific list.  If you do not know who that is, issuing a REVIEW command to
LISTSERV will tell you.
 
lighten up!
