If he sets up a mailing list using ezmlm, the obvious thing to use
with qmail, and sends to a mailing list of 1000 people through that
setup, you'll get exactly the same thing you have now. If you
implement a block on the submission, he'll be unable to use (that)
mailing list. So I think you need to think this through more
thoroughly.
