I'm running an MBAS here (flame away, I'm distributing stuff that too many
people have no other way to get, and I've got load-limiters in place to keep
the total volume reasonable).

You mean "Precedence:"?

My pride won't let me put in "Precedence: Junk", but I'm perfectly willing
to put in "Precedence: Bulk".  On the other hand, if I find out that mail
is being dropped as a result with no message to either me or the requester,
I'll take it out again.

If anyone (even a daemon) writes to me saying the load from the MBAS is
too high, I'll choke it back or find another route.  That's doable, once
I know which system to route around.  If mail mysteriously disappears
somewhere, I'll force it through by disguising all the keywords that might
give away the fact that it's an archive server.

Actually, "Precedence: Bulk" is a pretty good thought.
