If I understand what's being proposed, this amounts to mailbombing or a
denial of service attack on these email addresses. My ISP quite rightly
regards such attacks as Internet abuse, and I don't want to run the risk
of their terminating my account.
I'm rather surprised that the managers of this list don't have more
appropriate methods of controlling the behaviour of those who are
apparently trying to subvert it.
