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.
I appreciate that possibility. For the risks: Well, I've tried procmail and I think I've to file all those RE: messages quoting the whole rubbish to the /dev/zero folder ;-)
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 ;-(

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).
Oh, I remember him. Think he had to buy a free beer for everyone on the list. ;-) Wanted to be wise, tell everybody that unsubscribed into the list to unsubscribe at majordomo (hello Patrick are you still with the list ;-)) with his procmail. unfortunetely the dreadful words appear in every mail...
