Is your mailing list an ezmlm list, or just a .qmail file with a bunch of
forward directives in it?
If it's ezmlm (which means this question should be asked on the ezmlm list
instead of the qmail list), you can fix this by making the list moderated,
so you can approve all messages, or make it a read-only list, so only you
can send messages at all. You could also configure it to only accept
submissions from list members.
If it's just a .qmail file, have the first line be a pipe to a script, which
checks either the originating IP address or the envelope sender (less secure).
The script should exit 0 if the message is to be delivered to the rest of the
list, or 99 to drop it on the floor. `man qmail-command` for more details.
