the policies up. Unless, of course, your policy is "you're screwed if you post to my list, and good luck stopping the spammers". Which is, effectively, what "make the owner of the mailbox handle it" does as a policy. Although I doubt you'd phrase it quite that way...

I wouldn't, but that would be my policy, yes. OTOH, no one pays me to run mailing lists.
Again, it's the same thing: have the mechanism (I'm not even sure *which* mechanism(s) you're talking about now), let $foo decide the policy, where $foo iterates over the list of users.
The mechanism is "permit the hooking in of a method for preventing spam from reaching the list", I think.
Of course, that causes one person's miscalculation to be another person's (times n) headache. Networks are like that.
Yep.
Heh. Wanna guarantee messages get bounced all over the place? Just use the "V" word in an email. You know which one I mean. You'll set off alarms all
