By now, you should have found out that John de Armond is not only
postmaster@dixie.com, he is also root@dixie.com, owner of the system,
and operator.

Aren't you accelerating things a little quickly? You should at least 
contact an "offender" two or three times if they're doing something 
you just disagree with, before trying their postmaster. Trying to 
instigate cutting them off (virtually impossible, IMHO) over a few
postings you consider inappropriate for a group is going way overboard.

If your software won't support a killfile, either get some which does
or get accustomed to using your "n" key.
