<Does anyone know of a way to block a single address from subscribing to a

There's no per-list bozo filter yet that I know of, but Brent recently
contributed a terrific filter patch for majordomo that lets you
intercept messages before majordomo processes them.  You tag the
intercept by the header info, like the sender address or a site that
the message has passed through.  I love it - it enabled me to catch
the four most recent subscribe spams before they even hit my majordomo.
