We are utilizing Listserv to manage and control our internal corporate
email.  This set up is opposite the typical Listserv setup.  Typically
with Listserv, you have a few lists with many subscribers.
With our setup, we have many lists with few subscribers.

Occasionally, people post email to their small groups with just a
short message (in the Subject: only).

It's not a big deal to put the restriction on them, such that they
need to put something in the body.

I was just wondering if there was a way to turn it off.
