Providing I _just_ delete them (as I did with this person), which is the
first disciplinary step, they can come back. The deletion is simply
supposed to serve as a little more harsh of a warning.

The next step is to delete them and either serve them off the listserv,
which prevents them from signing up again, or putting in a filter which
will bit.bucket antying coming from that address.

Also, I have the option, although I don't exercise it unless abuse
continues, to contact the postmaster of the person, or if the person IS
the postmaster, contacting the administrator of their upstream site.

I try to keep things internal if at all possible.
