I don't think this is coming via the list.
It's easy (as I am sure you know) to use a fictitious email address without
the owner knowing about it.
I certainly haven't had any messages through like this (not from the list
anyway).
I think someone has just selected it as a way of sending you stuff (sounds
like they may know you or, at least, be signed up on the list though,
doesn't it) ?
Don't think there is much anyone can do except to suggest you replace one on
your filter if it becomes too much.
