Unless the person is dumb enough to include full header information on the
material they're resending, you pretty much can't tell.  I can think of
difficult and expensive (time-wise) schemes where you send out slightly
different messages to each list member to see which one ends up being
posted.

You could also cook up a scheme where each list member signs over copyright
of their message to you, then you include a copyright notice with each
message.  Then you can attempt to have the annoying person's admin shut
them down for copyright violation.  This is stretching things pretty thin,
though (and, of course, IANAL).
