1.8e may be your answer. It looks like you can craft a header content
filter to look for the return receipt and reject a message with one -- with
an appropriate message to "remove the return receipt" if the subscriber
wants to post something. I'll know more on that one once we get our new LAK
in. :-)

You could also create a preprocessor to cull out the offending headers
(perl or procmail). I've done similar things in the past to enable users
with broken MUAs to use lists better. This can get complicated though (it's
easy to "mess up").
