Yes, I can put Plautus on moderation. But I have no authority to do so. When I took this job, it was quite firmly stated that my only task is to "administer".
If a consensus develops that P. is flooding the list, and enough people insist, I can turn on the moderation flag for any user.

Please don't.
The last thing his persecution complex needs is some actual persecution.
Those people who don't want to read his emails and don't know how to configure their software so they don't have to can use this as a valuable learning opportunity.
True, but (laughing out loud), they didn't sign on for a practicum.

I agree with this. Even if the posts by him are almost as annoying as the posts about him, this can be a good opportunity to see if the delete key works on your own keyboard.
If we are to moderate the posts BY him, then fairness demands that we apply the same moderation to the posts ABOUT him.
