..one way is have the list reject these long appended digest quotes
with such give-aways as "netfilter digest, Vol 1 #514 - 7 msgs" in
the subject line. The appropriate response IMNTHO is return these
abuses back to the abuser, asking him to remove his abusive waste
before reposting. Procmail can automate this.
