This might work for you. It will accept, reject, or discard all current
post requests for one or more lists. You can give a reason. The reason
enters the vette log, and is relayed to the poster if you're rejecting.
I recommend that you try it on a test list or something, or save the
backup of your config.db, or whatever. This is for an old version of
Mailman and might not work as well for you as for me.
