Sounds like the configuration is such that subcriptions must be approved,
but posting is not restricted to the list?

See configuration file:
        # restrict_post        [restrict_post] (undef) <resend>
        # If defined, only addresses listed in these files (colon or space
        # separated) can post to the mailing list. By default, these files
        # are relative to the lists directory. These files are also checked
        # when get_access, index_access, info_access, intro_access,
        # which_access, or who_access is set to 'list'. This is less useful
        # than it seems it should be since there is no way to create these
        # files if you do not have access to the machine running resend.
        # This mechanism will be replaced in a future version of
        # majordomo/resend.
restrict_post       = mylist
                      ^^^^^^ 
Put your list's name here, which will be the file listing the subscribers here.

Or,see:
        # taboo_body           [regexp_array] (undef) <resend>
        # If any line of the body matches one of these regexps, then the
        # message will be bounced for review.
taboo_body          <<  END

END

and put a regular expression matching the spammers e-mail address in between 
the ENDs, like   /spammer@someplace.com/
