This would take the form of a parameter that limits the maximum number of postings that could be made by each user over a period of time. Might work something like this: Define a new list header Maxpost= number,interval Number is an integer between 1 and (some large number representing infinity), and Interval is either "Daily" or "Weekly" (maybe "Monthly" too, though that seems too long to me). For each user subscribed to the list, a count is maintained of the number of submissions made by that user during the specified interval, and articles in excess of that are sent back to the sender with an explanatory message. If the keyword were omitted, there would be no limit. This would be a good way to keep list-hoggers from monopolizing the list. [Many lists that would incorporate this feature may want to be self-moderated via "Editor= Someone,(LISTNAME)".] What do you think?
