> Can anything be done about someone who made an honest mistake and
Yes. Forgive.
You said it yourself: it was an honest mistake. Probably a
result of similar aliases set up in his mailer. Have you
never made such a mistake? Do you have a viable suggestion
on how to fix this problem, which thousands of people have
pondered, which has been examined at length on comp.risks,
which is at heart a psychological problem and not a
technical problem?
Additional warnings and punishments aren't going to have
much effect on honest errors.
I could see filtering mailing list submissions for size, and
trapping anything over 10K for list-owner approval. That
would be far more effective than trying to stop it at the
source. This list has already been remarkably free of such
problems.
