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.
