Initial Comment:
It would be great to add a "simulate invalid address"
to the authorization page. e.g. along with the
Defer/Accept/Reject/Discard options.

This would simply send an invalid address message back
to the sender. Usually used for spam emails with
members only posting. Would greatly reduce spam as the
invalid address would be removed by most automated
spamming systems.

I agree - this would be a wonderful feature!!

I recently had to change my "wide-open" list to a moderated 
list because the spam reached unprecedented / unacceptable 
levels.  Many of my list members were dropping off the list 
because they couldn't afford to receive porn advertisements 
at their work email addresses any longer.

Now that it's a moderated list, I have to login at least once 
daily to reject all the spam that is in the inbox.  If I had 
a "Bounce" option in addition to 
the "Defer/Accept/Reject/Discard" options, this might help 
reduce the flow of spam in the future.
