 And who is to determine what is fit? Putting that duty on the mail
 movers seems ripe for abuse. Our job is to move the mail, not censor
 it.

 There's two solutions I see - accept occasional SPAM as the price of
 running a network, or require every sysop to validate each user before
 allowing write access to the echoes.

 One fits into the dual rules of Fidonet - don't be excessively
 annoying, and don't be excessively annoyed. The other is untenable.
