I've just turned the maximum message size down to 10KB (previously 32KB). This should knock out quite a lot of the spam, since much of it is email worms of 20-30KB. I don't *think* this will knock out many human messages, though if it does we can turn it back up. Or you could split your epic treatise into two ;-) - d.

Or you could just not top-post and remember to trim what you're quoting. -- Mark [[User:Carnildo]] On 3/15/07, David Gerard <dgerard(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Do messages that clock in over the maximum get bounced with a descriptive error message to the sender? Mgm

Why don't you just copy the entire text of Anna Karenina (or AN/I, about the same size) into an email and try to send it? We know it wont reach the list, and you'll see what kind of reply you get. --Oskar

Your mail to 'WikiEN-l' with the subject x Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The reason it is being held: Message body is too big: 96053 bytes with a limit of 10 KB Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision. If you would like to cancel this posting, please visit the following URL: Bah, so much for saving moderator work! - d.

Another option is to avoid excessive quoting. O:-) Ec
