List:       majordomo-users

The address to moderate would go in the taboo_headers either in the list.config file or
in the global majordomo.cf file like this;

/abc\@junkyard\.de/i

and the signature would be filtered with taboo_body in either location like this;

/the badmouth specialist/i

The "/" character indicates the beginning and ending of what string of characters you
are trying to match.  The "i" at the end means you are ignoring upper/lower case of
the string to be matched.  The "\" inside the match is an escape symbol, telling the
regex engine to match the following character "exactly" rather than interpret it as
a character with special meaning, like "wildcard" or "variable".

Make sure you utilize "resend" in your list's alias, or anything you do in the .config
file with be wasted time and effort.
