I don't believe this list restricts posting to non-members, or has any
other anti-spam measures.

I suspect someone is just sending spam to the list, they aren't
"masquerading" at all.

If that's the case then anyone can send anything they like to the list
and it will send it to the members - nothing you can do about this but
persuade the list maintainer to only accept mails from members.

Be aware that even then, a determined spammer can just subscribe to the
list first :)
