Just a suggestion, I think nanog (@merit.edu) worked around this by having a
different posting mailing list than reading mailing list, so to speak. This
was of course done with Majordomo and not ezmlm, but probably hackable to
do. This works around Peter's problem perfectly, while still effectively
preventing spam and worm proliferation.

I personally thing the thought of banning an entire mail client explicitly
is obscene. Punishing users for the mistakes of their vendors reeks of
disgust. Not that I'm trying to say we should go out of our way to
accomodate every vendor, but explicitly denying one.. uggh.
