I'm going through that with a twit on one of my lists.  Rather than stick
him in the 'ignored' list, I patched the 'resend' program to bounce certain
users' posts to me for approval so I can manually repost the acceptable
ones back to the list (through a sendmail alias on the server which points
to a small Perl script that strips off my header and stuffs the original
message at the tail of the appropriate digest queue.  This way, I can let
some posts through and ignore the obnoxious ones.
