And while you're at it, fix your archiver.  It shouldn't ever dump core.
(Hypermail has been known to die when given duplicate Message-IDs, but you
should have the source to fix it.  I've never seen MHonArc crash on a bad
message.)

The point is that you do need to force this person to send legal messages,
but you also need to protect yourself against some remote user being able
to blow up your archiver at will.
