That's because it's a SIMPLE problem that you are approaching in a more difficult, wrong way.

That's stupid. if the sysop is going to setup an echomail area it's their decision to setup things.   What do you call verified? can i verify you? can you verify me?  what is that even in today's age?

That's good. enjoy your spam.  stop demanding other people do your job for you.

being obnoxious is different than a person posting under multiple names causing abuse to the entire system.

If someone is abusing the system then all's fair in love and war. Time to block at the hub or individual system.
