If you elect to filter this person's traffic, and are concerned that
you'll continue to be inundated with replies, I'd like to suggest a
small procmail script I wrote years ago.
http://www.it.ca/~paul/s/procmail-filter-msgid
It caches the message-id of the troll's posts and filters the message
(redirect or bitbucket). It then caches the message-id of any message
that includes a cached message-id in its headers (i.e. In-Reply-To,
Refererences) and filters that too. The effect is to hide not just the
troll's mail, but all the conversations he starts.
I haven't actively used this thing since 2003, but procmail hasn't
changed much in that time either. Hope it helps.
Sometimes killing the trolls is just too much effort.
