     One feature I really do like on the current ListProc is the automatic
     detection of this sort of message and preventing it from being 
     distributed to the list.  Once in a while it guesses wrong, which
     can be inconvient for the post -- they get a notice that their
     message wasn't posted and information on what to do to either re-post
     or get help.  But on the whole this is a really good feature.  A
     good wish list item for a future version of Mailman I would think.

                                           Cordially,
                                           The List Server Admin
