I reckon a couple of things will not be allowed,
like HTML messages and messages from non-subscribers;
as it is in Majordomo lists. But these methods prevent spam
of course, which is seldsome here I believe (also it saves
bandwidth once you send plain text instead of hypertext).
Banning mates for top posting is at least obscure.
