I've seen them before, I don't remember what they look like.  But you would 
have to enact some sort of content filter on your list.  ListServ doesn't 
filter these out.

You should also educate your users on this.  That it doesn't work, atleast 
not outside of their office/exchange server, and is highly annoying.
