A very interesting concept Nick. I am preparing to launch a list and am looking for ways to automate moderation. Does anyone have a perl/shell script for doing this kind of thing?

Right on... 8-) I'm fully in favour of "quoted-line to new content" ratio moderation. Simply bounce any message with more quoted lines than non-quoted, or whatever more or less harsh ratio you think is reasonable. Messages without "substantial" new content relative to quoted content are generally (like 95-99%) not worth the bandwidth, storage space or deletion time they "consume".
