ISPs and others start refusing to deliver their traffic.
c'mon sublists are not rocket sience and have even been in BITNET
LISTSERV since at least 1984.
If a ISP has a large enough userbase that subscribes to a mailing list
he might consider running a sublist. Blocking the list will make him
loose his customers.
I've in the past blocked fluff mailing lists from Fortune 100 type
companies because they just gummed up the works with zillions of user
unknowns etc.
These are address lists not mailinglists.
Mailinglists impose that there is a manager for the list.
