In a utopian world :):

* If you are not subscribed it never makes it to the moderator. I
don't think it is unreasonable that if you want to send to -announce
that you will also receive from -announce for example.

* If you send email to an invalid user/alias multiple times within a
particular threshold your ip is banned automatically for 30 days
(something that CMD is working on for their server).

* The ability to forward messages that do get through to "something"
that allows automatic blacklisting so we never see them again.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
