If he's the only moderated member you could set member_moderation_action
to Discard or Reject and if Reject, set an appropriate
member_moderation_notice.

You could use Privacy options... -> Spam filters -> header_filter_rules
with a regexp like

^from:.*user at example\.com

(these are matched case-insensitively) and a Reject or Discard action,
but Reject here will just give the generic 'The message headers matched
a filter rule' reason.
