One way to find out which subscriber is (knowingly or unknowingly) behind
this problem is to have the mail list send out messages augmented with the
actual recipient's email (preferrably as "xxx at domain xxx dot xxx" to not
be immediately obvious to possible scripts that may remove them) as part of
the body of the email. Then, the porn should come back with that
information as it appears to always quote the original message. It should
quickly reveal what email address is behind this, and that address can be
banned from the list.

I agree. I just don't know of an alternative. Suggestions are welcomed!
I don't know how flexible is the Mail list system, but if possible, may
be it could take the name of the original "From:" field, but keep
the mailing list email.
Example:
- Email received by the server:
From: John Smith <johnsm...@someisp.com>
To: Fossil User Mailing list <fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org>
....
....
....
- Email sent back to the member of the list
From: John Smith <fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org>
To: Fossil User Mailing list <fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org>
....
....
....
I have no clue if it's possible, but it would be a good compromise.
