Are you sure you want to just disable the quoting?  I know the spams are 
obnoxious, but at least right now your users can tell that the spammer 
is the culprit.  If you take that part out, then they may assume your 
installation of mailman is at fault, or that they somehow sent something 
out, which could be even more confusing than just receiving the spam 
copy is.

That said, if you want more info on controlling this sort of thing, you 
might want to do a search for "mailman" and "backscatter" -- there was 
some discussion on this a while back that might have useful suggestions 
for your particular problem.
