There is probably not a great deal which can be done about it short of
making the list fully moderated. Even a genuine user with the EDI-L
address in his/her address book can get a worm infection which causes
emails with an undesirable payload to be sent to the list. On the plus
side the stripping of attachments before a post is distributed works
well, and the simulated postings are no more than a nuisance.
