Exactly.  I don't understand the rational either.  If the smaller individual
list postings don't get through, why do you think the digests will?  So
you've got one enourmous error rather than a bunch of little ones.  There
shouldn't be *any* due to subscribers exceeding account space allotment.
Your subscribers should be "good net citizens" and that includes keeping
their accounts clean, setting their various subs nomail when they'll be
away, etc.
 
As I said before, lectures are ignored, repeated setting to nomail doesn't
seem much better.  But, if you have just a little something in your header
to make it a bit harder to subscribe, they'll learn to mind their net
manners if you keep deleting them when their accounts overflow.
