Remove him from the "dist" and "accept" files, and then put his address
in the "reject" file.
This will keep him from subscribing.
If the list has "foreign_submit" disabled (not set), then he will not be
able to resubscribe and will not be able to submit.
However, If foreign_submit is enabled, then he can still submit, even
though he isn't subscribed. In this case, you'll have to create an
additional recipe and have it invoked at the place where
RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_10 resides.
It can be done something like this:
a. In "rc.custom", define RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_10=rc.local.s10
b. create the file "reject.submit" in the list directory and insert all
"bad guy" addresses in it.
c. Create "rc.local.s10" in the list directory. Put the following
recipe in it (*THIS IS UNTESTED--BUT SHOULD WORK*):
:0 w
| formail -X"From " -xFrom: -xReply-To: -xSender: -xResent-From: \
-xResent-Reply-To: -xResent-Sender: -xReturn-Path: | \
multigram -b1 -m -l$submit_threshold -L$domain \
-x$listaddr -x$listreq reject.submit
This will check the submitter address against a file of "bad guy"
addresses, "reject.submit", and if a successful match (using
"submit_threshold") is made, then "multigram" succeeds, causing
the mail to "go away" (procmail thinks that the mail was delivered
--to multigram).
Actually, something like this might be useful to add to the SmartList
"rc.submit" anyway.
Good luck.
Alan
