Is there a way I can configure pine to reject or bounce email from a
specific person?

Sure there is. But first, here's some antagonistic criticism...

1.      See if there is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for a group.
        Veteran members get annoyed when they see the same questions every
        few weeks, or at the start of each semester.

	From the PINE-faq: 
	
	Pine does not perform delivery filtering; that is the function of
	other programs, such as (on Unix hosts) "procmail" or "mailagent."
	For details on selection and configuration of such programs, see the
	Filtering Mail FAQ (by Nancy McGough).
	
	http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/mail/filtering-faq/
	faq.html

2. From the netiquette: 

	When you join a list, monitor the messages for a few days to get a
	feel for what common questions are asked, and what topics are deemed
	off-limits. This is commonly referred to as lurking. When you feel
	comfortable with the group, then start posting.
                                               
3. A personal remark:

	Neither bouncing nor rejecting is wanted behaviour on the Net.
	Normally, there is a certain reason for someone getting. Why don't
	you talk to the sender and tell him to stop his postings? If that
	doesn't help, check the net-abuse faq.

Cheers,
Robin
