We're having an occaisional problem with people who get accounts here,
sign up for a lot of BITNET lists, and then leave (for one reason or
another.)   I don't know a lot about BITNET and how it works, so these
are fairly basic questions:

1.  Is there a simple way to send a message to BITNET saying "Take
this person off every list" ???
2.  Is there a way to block people from signing up on BITNET lists?

The reason I'm concerned is that our present connections are uucp, and
our phone bills are getting up there enough to get the boss's
attention.   Also, people don't log in and the mail builds up quickly
enough to fill up /usr/spool/mail

Thanks for any help you can give me!   Email or post - I read both
newsgroups.

later, david
