Signed messages are likely to be increasingly common. I vote for
Bernard's suggestion of a message-size limit.

Do you want, as Bernard suggested, a poll for this on the PLUG site?
Options:

- Restrict Message size to 30KB
- Remove all attachements from list messages
- Change MUA to sendmail and use mimedefang to make stripped
  attachments available on PLUG Web site
- Unsubscribe Jeremy, Bernard and James :-)
- Any others?

About option 3: depends on the sysadmin being willing to do this; as
far as I know there's no postfix equivalent of mimedefang which not
only strips attachments, but also saves them to a Web site.

No easy way to judge demand, so if I get three requests, I'll set up
the poll.
