Alas, there is little I can currently do about this, beyond complaining to various postmaster addresses (which I have done). As the Internet becomes more of a capitalist free-for-all, even a moderately small mailing list like Cube-Lovers (less than 200 members) becomes a target for things like this. The only real solution, given that it is no longer possible to rely on people's courtesy, is to go for some kind of moderation. And in fact, I am developing some software to moderate Cube-Lovers (and another mailing list I maintain). When I'm done, the only changes you all should notice are: (1) no more junk mail and (2) a slightly longer turnaround time when you submit a legitimate message. Until I've got that working all you can do is ignore these losers.
