Would refusing non-subscriber submissions curb this at all?
Yes, but this would cause other problems: Several people are posting from another account than they subscribed, so this would become impossible.
Yeah, I know this isn't you guys' fault--but nonetheless, it's gotten rather ridiculous. I seem still to be receiving the backed-up notifications even now.
Yes, it's bad. But there are not only mails in our queue but also at surf.be ;-(

Hubert PS: Some month ago somebody did set up a procmail file that responded to _every_ mail of the german list. In one night this guy did produce more than 100.000 mails. It took more than a day to get rid of them (apparently he was connecting via UUCP, so mails were coming in quite some time after unsubscribing him). -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
