[Mailman-Users] Remove users.

Hi - I have a newsletter that I send out to about 50000 addresses. It is a
one way deal - I don't want the subscribers to post messages. However a lot
of them hit the reply to button and send emails back asking to be removed or
something like that. I have it moderated so only an admin can approve a post
but now every time I go in there I find like 70-90 pending posts - mostly
undeliverable and some responses - they all need to be manually discarded. 

Is it possible to setup so that either when they reply it goes to another
email rather then the one I use for posting? Or how can limit who can send
to that address - I guess anyone can but is there a way that I can say that
if it doesn't come from this address then shoot back an auto-response saying
sorry this is a one way mailing list and at the same time eliminating their
messages from being posted in my emails pending request queue. 

Another way around me having to delete the 70 or more pending requests would
be if I could get the default option in the pending windows page to discard
rather then defer. It takes a lot of time to go through 70 emails and change
the option to discard. 

Any help - thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. 

John
