I have an announce list, right. And I only ever want a few authorized people to be allowed to post to it. So why do I need to rummage through the grease trap of held posts deleting all of them in turn. I *know* I don't want them. Why can't I just tell you to reject them outright. WHY? Oh, and for that matter - why no "delete all" Oh, and whilst in full flow - you put the headers and body of every message in a form element. And all form elements are in the same form. And the message queue, if we've had a particulalry viscious spam attack, can be over a hundred messages long. Spam and viruses can have rather large message bodies. IT'S NOT A PARTICULARLY HARD STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION TO SEE THAT SUBMITTING THE FULL TEXT OF A HUNDRED VIRUSES AND HTML SPAMS VIA POST IS GOING TO PUT QUITE A LOAD ON THE SERVER. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Somebody should write a mailing list manager in Perl.
