Yes, but Mailman will only send one rejection notice per day to a given sender, regardless of how many messages were originally submitted to Mailman. So, while Mailman can be used to help Joe Job someone, it cannot be used as a Joe Job amplifier. This is why I say that it's better to Reject as opposed to Discard. > The best practice is to filter spam ahead of Mailman so as little spam > as possible even gets to Mailman.
