It could provide security on lists (only certain people are allowed to send to lists over a certain size). It could also provide a double-checking mechanism (when it receives an e-mail from an Outlook client with > X recipients in the system, it could e-mail the client back saying "This message will go to 10,000 recipients. Seriously?"). As for anyone who replies-to-all saying "Don't reply-to-all," they deserve an instant punishment of some sort for their utter hypocrisy!
