If you have SEND=Private,Confirm in your list header then only subscribed
members of the list can post.  It is not possible for them to hide their
email address (although some services allow/require them to use a cryptic
or numerical userID, that doesn't reveal their name).
 
If you do a REVIEW of your list, you will get a list of all list members
and names, sorted by domain name.  Then just match up the header of the
suspect mail with the list.
 
If the 'abuse' persists, even after you notify them to cease and desist,
then you can always just delete them from the list.  This may be harsh, but
effective.
