We have never had a spam problem, so we can ask to block this user first. If it continues to happen, we may be able to moderate new subscriber emails, but we do need to ask for permissions first and I'm not sure we'll get them. A better solution longer term is migrating to Discourse, which has far better moderation tools than Mailman and is also more approachable for people not used to mailing lists (which is most newcomers to open source). Migrating is a bit of a pain, but with the new CZI grant having a focus on improving the contributor experience, we should be able to do this.
