I was thinking about this more... Maybe the thing to do as a backup-plan
to the Terms of Use (without changing the Terms of Use) is to build a
database of real-names associated with each new e-mail address seen, and
for the server to embed the person's real name in the message in an
extended NNTP header, for example:
X-RealName: Todd Lehman
That way, if someone forgot to include their real name, it would still be
there in the message for anyone who wants to take a peek at the full
header. And they wouldn't have to check some external list, and we
wouldn't have to make a lugnet.whois newsgroup to carry a list of who
everyone is.
If anyone feels it is an invasion of their privacy, they are welcome to
discontinue usage of this server.
Whaddya think?

| (...) I LIKE this idea! How difficult is it to code? How would it account for people who change their addresses -- (Or their email filtering system) from day to day? Sarah Heacock (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
