This guy's email address can't just be deleted from the list because *we
don't know what address of his is on the list*. Some address on this
list is forwarding to peter.whalley at uol.com.br but the address
peter.whalley at uol.com.br itself is not on the list. It might be easier
to tell if the challenge-spam actually included the Received: headers of
the message it was challenging, but it doesn't.
To find the offending address, the list manager would have to send
individual messages to each list subscriber and find out which one
resulted in a challenge.
Paul.
