	Deleting?  No, not really.  You could automatically discard the 
message, but that would cause some problems for people who would 
otherwise think that the message was accepted and posted to the list. 
Generally speaking, the recommended solution is to automatically 
reject such messages -- which informs the sender, and allows them to 
take appropriate action.
