I had major problems with my list when I set the list to reply-to
sender. Flame wars and a rift in the list etc. I was accused of
limiting people's rights under US law (I'm in NZ and my list was housed
in NZ at the time so that amused me).
Then when I put a block on the name of an organization that was leading
to OT discussion I had another fight with people leaving the list.
As you might guess there was another problem when I went to fully
moderated. But then it was easier to limiy, but thare was still another
rival nomod version of the list created because "people didn't want
someone reading every word".
