No.  As Charlie pointed out, this list is maintained at some distance
from its membership.  But, since it's SmartList, which is very much
Procmail based, the obvious fix is technical.  Here's why I haven't
seen one of those things in years:

#
#Toss these stupid notes from bogus smartlist-list subscriber
#
:0
* ^From: .*[email protected]
* B ?? paonia,Mass College Art
/dev/null

Put that in your personal .procmailrc file and move on... :)
