[mlmmj] Suggestion: a tunable that allows for moderation of individual email addresses, instead of t

Thanks for the help back in June, with adjusting my "delimiter" tunable
to enable moderation of a list.

Now that I've been moderation for awhile, this questions arises:

Is there a way to moderate individual email addresses instead of the
entire list?

I haven't seen anything in the docs, but I can imagine a tunable file
that contains emails from the list that require moderation.

I assume I'm not the first person to consider this, as it seems there
could be a variety of reasons for wanting to moderate a sub-set of the
list addresses instead of all of them.

One example: someone is violating the rules/expectations for using a
list - instead of removing them, the administrator could put them on
probation for some period, and moderate their submissions to prevent
further abuse of the list during the probation period.

( the current news cycle provides plenty of examples where a similar
paradigm like this might be helpful! :-)

It is possible via the 'access' tunable, e.g.:

moderate ^From:.*troll@spam.org
# more lines like this
allow

It is not perfect, but should work in general. Do not forget 'allow' at
the end as the default action is deny.
