how to block / discard automatically a specific email from email ID
Hello, I am running 2.0.5 version.
I am getting spammed from a specific member email ID. I have removed (unsubscribed) that email ID from member list. However I get spam emails from that same ID (hotmail). It comes to me for approval.
How can I automatically discard from that email ID alone and stop email notices from mailman to me?
please.........

If you mean 2.1.5, there are several ways to do this. Probably the easiest is Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> discard_these_nonmembers.
If you really mean 2.0.5, I don't think there's a way to reject/discard as opposed to hold posts from a specific address.
Note that 2.0.5 is over 9 years old. 2.1.5 is over 6 years old. The current release is 2.1.13 with 2.1.14 due in September.

Unfortunately, yes I am running 2.0.5 version.
Upgrading is not under my control.
Could you please let me know how to block/discard a specific address? and avoid approval notices for me? say - example@hotmail.com

As I said,

In other words, Mailman 2.0 will hold a non-member post for approval, but I think that's all you can do. Mailman 2.0 does not have flexible, configurable ways to reject or discard messages based of the poster or other message attributes.
If you can't upgrade, your only other choice, which you may not be able to do either, is to edit the Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py module in your Mailman 2.0 installation. This module contains the definition
KNOWN_SPAMMERS = []
If you change that to
KNOWN_SPAMMERS = [ ('from', 'example@hotmail\.com'), ]
that will result in any message containing a From: header the content of which matches the regexp 'example@hotmail\.com' being discarded.
You can add other headers and patterns to the list, but this can only be done by editing the Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py module. There is no list configuration way to do this as there is in Mailman 2.1.x.

Mailman 2.0.5 is pushing ten years old. If your host is unwilling or unable to update then find another host. If this is a corporate machine where the IT department is unable or unwilling to update, then you probably need to complain to someone if you are expected to administer the lists.

Spot on for my views too. Don't be dealing with this antiquated version. Really.
