Many Owners find success with setting a ridiculously low Sizelim= setting
in the list header.  Something like

Sizelim=75

might do the trick.  After a while you can experiment with gently
increasing the number.

Note that when setting the Sizelim= value, LISTSERV includes the Internet
headers in the line-count so you'll need to take into consideration that
the first few lines may be 'hidden' from view.  This can be anywhere from
10-20 or more.  Of course, YMMV.

Repeat offenders soon learn how to trim out detritus when their posts are
continually being rejected due to excessive length.
