I bet his envelope From_ addr is "cygwin@hotpop.com".  If you looked
at one of his messages in the ezmlm archive
(/qmail/lists-sourceware/cygwin/archive/NNN/NN), there's probably a header
which shows his From_ addr.

Once you've got that, you can just add it to the list of blacklisted users.

Or, as you noted, you could just ask him to stop. :-)
