Yes, blackholing the messages is easy. As for bandwidth being the only
difference, not quite. The messages still make it to the archives (thus
flooding them). The increased message traffic to the list can bog the
list server resulting in increasing delivery delays. As with any problem
the closer to the source you can deal with the problem the better.
