You can certainly reject certain messages as being unwanted.
I was thinking just the other day that I would have had replies to
digests outright banned if the subject line wasn't changed and the
message was a full quote reply. Bouncing it back with a rejection
notice saying what was required for a post to be accepted.
I'd be tempted to go further. Any "replies" lacking the in-reply-to and
references headers to be rejected, too, for stuffing up threading.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
