Send a note, with a cc to appropriate postmasters--and maybe the list
itself--saying that you will not tolerate such offensive and off-topic mail
any more, and that, if she persists, you will remove her from the list.
Follow through with it, if you must.
 
Be sure to state everything--I am the owner of this list and have the
authority to do this, I am doing it because of this, you must do (or not
do) this, etc.
 
If she persists in harassing your list after being unsubscribed, there's
still plenty of recourse--just ask us, I'm sure you'll hear an answer.
 
Rember that by joining your list, people are visiting with you. There is no
reason why you should tolerate obnoxious guests.
