badmailfrom operates on the MAIL FROM: parameter of the SMTP conversation.
For ezmlm lists, the MAIL FROM: (or ``envelope sender'' or ``address in the
Return-Path header'') is a VERP-encoded address, like:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

where NNNNNN is the message number in question.

The original idea was to add ``[EMAIL PROTECTED]'' to badmailfrom on
the server running the qmail list itself (Dan's server). This would block
the mail.
