I don't think the mechanism employed by the hacker is using "who" at all. Rather, it is someone who is subscribed to the list and has a program which looks at the author of each message to see if it is someone already in their database. If it is someone new, it automatically sends a message for that person into the anon service. If not, it simply ignores the message. There are LOTS of silent listeners on the list and it could be ANY of them. Stoping this is not going to be easy. I don't Send out 9 barium messages, coded by the binary representation the number of the person sendig to, with 0 being no message.
