I'd like to improve the server's ability to automatically enforce the

what it is doing currently, which is nothing.

If .market.auction required that posts to it were not crossposted with any
other groups, that would help.  But I've seen places where a discussion
migrated from .market.auction to .market.theory -- so it really shouldn't
prevent crossposting to -all- other groups.

Which groups would make sense to allow into the exceptions list?  I'm
thinkin' a pretty skinny list:

  .market.theory
  .admin.general
