Unfortunately, the current batch of worms fakes the return
address on messages, so there could well be messages that claim
to be from the list, even though they aren't. I admin a number
of bicycle mailing lists, and every time a member gets infected I
get all sorts of responses to infected messages that have bogus
addresses.
The lists I run mostly accept only plain text messages, so I can
at least warn subscribers that if they see a little paperclip
icon for an attachment, that email definitely did not go through
the list. The one list that does allow attachments causes more
trouble than all the others combined.
