No, not really.   There are a lot of other forums for that sort of 
thing.   If you are troubled with them on your lists, that's one thing, 
and might be a good thing to review the anti-spam capabilities of 
Majordomo (or whatever list software you use) and your MTA.  As far as 
warning your users, that's entirely dependent on the relationship you 
have with your users, but I, for one, have pretty much barred posting 
or discussion of all sorts of "warnings" on my lists, whether spam, 
scams, viruses, hoaxes, political alerts, etc.

And neither list-managers nor majordomo-users is the right place for 
reports or warnings themselves.
