how to block / discard automatically a specific email from email ID

Hello,
I am running 2.0.5 version.

I am getting spammed from a specific member email ID. I have removed
(unsubscribed) that email ID from member list. However I get spam emails
from that same ID (hotmail). It comes to me for approval.

How can I automatically discard from that email ID alone and stop email
notices from mailman to me?

please.........

Multiple domains

Is there any way to handle multiple domains in Mailman 2.1.19?

I have apply the patch from http://nxsy.org/139.html and this way I have 
a list called mydomain.com-list.

The issue is that if I'm posting to mydomain.com-list <at> mydomain.com 
everything seems to work fine. However, when posting to 
list <at> mydomain.com the mail is set to quarantine.

I have tried to rewrite the address on postfix (using alias) to match 
mydomain.com-list, but it still doesn't work.

Any idea how can I make it working? Why is Mailmain complaining about 
"Message has implicit destination"?

I'm using postfix with virtual domains, mysql and mailman.

Any help is more than appreciated!!

monthly notices sent to unsubscribed addresses

Hi,

I own two MailMan 2.1.13 list serves.  After addresses are unsubscribed 
monthly list membership notices are still sent to these addresses.  I 
just got an email from someone who has been unsubscribed for several months.

TIA for any advice on fixing this.

Did you already take time to go (while reading) ALL the options in the
Mailman's list admin interface? If you do, you will find the options there.

2.1.9?

See the branch at <https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/vhost>.

The page you refer to gives the Exim configuration to handle this. If
you want to use Postfix, it's up to you to translate that to the
necessary Postfix configuration.

See the settings on the Mailman admin Privacy options... -> Recipient
filters page.

2.0.5? Really?

If you mean 2.1.5, there are several ways to do this. Probably the
easiest is Privacy options... -> Sender filters ->
discard_these_nonmembers.

If you really mean 2.0.5, I don't think there's a way to reject/discard
as opposed to hold posts from a specific address.

Note that 2.0.5 is over 9 years old. 2.1.5 is over 6 years old. The
current release is 2.1.13 with 2.1.14 due in September.

Re: how to block / discard automatically a specificemail from email ID

Unfortunately, yes I am running 2.0.5 version.

Upgrading is not under my control.

Could you please let me know how to block/discard a specific address? and
avoid approval notices for me?
say - example <at> hotmail.com

As I said,

>> as opposed to hold posts from a specific address.

In other words, Mailman 2.0 will hold a non-member post for approval,
but I think that's all you can do. Mailman 2.0 does not have flexible,
configurable ways to reject or discard messages based of the poster or
other message attributes.

If you can't upgrade, your only other choice, which you may not be able
to do either, is to edit the Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py module in
your Mailman 2.0 installation. This module contains the definition

KNOWN_SPAMMERS = []

If you change that to

KNOWN_SPAMMERS = [
                  ('from', 'example <at> hotmail\.com'),
