Hi Jenn: At this time it is not possible to filter the mailing list.
It is also not possible to edit the archives to remove that message.

We're in the process of moving the mailing lists to another server, on
which we can evaluate whether spam filtering will be effective, or
whether filtering would block too many legitimate messages.

In the meantime, don't click on any links in unsolicited e-mail
messages. That's a tough rule to follow here, since a message received
on a mailing list isn't unsolicited...

Keep in mind that the apparent sender of the message is as much a
victim as the recipients -- the sender name and e-mail address was
spoofed by the malware that sent the message, and we received that
message only because the spoofed sender address happened to be
subscribed to the list, and as far as the mailing list software was
concerned, that made it a legitimate message.
