Most of the programs which run as root don't need to even with their current design. All it would take is a few 'chown's, a few configuration file edits, and you're set. Hence, many times this problem is a configuration error instilled by software vendors and distributors. Other programs must

I'm not in a position to give an informed opinion, but in terms of bandwidth, one significant parameter is the average size of messages. Most lists with "well-behaved" users tend to have an average msg size of 2-4k, but some others - especially those that allow binary attachments, be it pictures,
