--- "flood" topic #1 ---

Command: flood

  Format: flood <disp>

Selects the disposition of submissions deemed to be part of a flood of
messages from a given address.  A "flood" is defined as more than the number
of submissions defined by the "floodlimit" parameter, from the same address,
within the period of time defined by the "subinterval" parameter.

The <disp> parameter must be one of:

"defer" - flood submissions are held until an amount of time dictated
          by the "subinterval" setting has passed since that subscriber's
          last successful submission

"discard" - flood submissions are discarded with no warning to the list
            owners or to the submitter

"moderators" - flood submissions are redirected to the list owners for
               handling

"reject" - flood submissions are returned to the sender

"unsubscribe" - senders of flood submissions are removed from the list

You must be a list owner to use this command.
