Instead of this it might be a better idea to make somebody's first post
moderated, after it has been approved the poster is added to the allow
list, if not he gets back a message like I copy&paste everytime now :)
If they are not approved, and they repost... they just nobody replies to
the Moderator request.
You then solve:
a. people not reading the reply to the first post and just repost again
b. people who are contributing stuff dont need to repost their mail, or
do other tricks to get their stuff posted
c. there is much less to moderate
You lose:
a. nothing :)
