I don't see this as a technical issue...

According to the Eudora Users Guide:
 >>Redirecting a Message
 >>Incoming messages can be sent to a new recipient "by way of you",
 >>maintaining the original sender's address in the From: field.  You
 >>should redirect a message that should have gone to someone else.

So, either:
A)  The original sender did not intend for the message to end up on the 
list, but someone else did, then you should bounce the messages back to the 
user that is using "redirect", telling them to use "forward" instead of 
"redirect".

or

B)  The original sender did intend to post to the list, in which case you 
should send the message back to that user and suggest they send directly to 
list.  If this person is not in restricted_post list, either add them (they 
apparently have something relevant to say), or revert to option (A).

In both cases, if you continue to approve the messages, then there is no 
incentive for the user to correct their error.
