The trouble is that even if you did force everyone to resubscribe,
there's nothing stopping a spammer from doing so again. Remember that
they're *receiving* messages from the list, but posting *directly* to

the cretin, and that mayn't be possible.
Reading also James Wilkinson's comments ("the list administrators tried
