It is not impossible to find out which subscriber is responsible for
this.

If the list manager sends each subscriber one (1) one message with a
subject matter dependent on the subscriber, like

Subject: This message sent to Mike.McCarty at sbcglobal.net

then a few challenges would come back, each identifying a subscriber.

I, for one, am willing to put up with one (1) one message like that
in order to fix this.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
