..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.

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
