Yes, they are! So the penalty for ignoring your decision and continuing
to flood the list with junk messages is not a simple delay of a few hours
in processing the verbiage. In practice, most messages are a reply to
another message, so as the list goes on hold, people will mostly stop
posting.

Yes, to give you a chance to delete the messages in the queue, if it's a
mailing loop. But only the LISTSERV manager can do that.
