Most likely not...since all "he" is doing is reporting back to the sender,
which happens to be everyone who posts to the list, that the mailbox is
full.

A far more effective approach would be for whoever maintains the list for
Cobalt/Sun to remove him/her from the list of subscribers.

I guess I'm just old and cranky, but if I owned a list with thousands of
subscribers, I'd make sure someone within my organization had the job of
monitoring the list.

It's just another benefit of being an unpaid beta tester...you get the
good and the bad.
