With a forum system, the thread would just have been locked.

However, you may not physically lock a mailing-list thread, but you can
post a moderator's announcement asking everyone to stop posting to that
thread, and warning that failing to comply would get the offender e.g. a
7-day ban (regardless of the contents of their post).
