Others have referred to useful information recorded in the LISTSERV log files.
However these files are only available to the Site Adminstrator(s) and not to
ordinary List Owner(s).  So, at the limits of List Owner privileges, this
information is not available.

Yes, this can be done at the List Owner level.

The List Header Keyword is  Service=

For lists running the web archive interface: Starting with LISTSERV 1.8d it is
possible to define "Service=" in terms of IP address blocks in order to limit
access to list archive notebooks via the web archive interface. This is
implemented as follows:

1.       Notebook= ...,Service

2.       "Service=" can contain entries of the form:

        [^]IP(a.b.c.d[/e])


For example, if you know that the suspected 'bad actor' is  has an IP address
somewhere in the range  192.168.10.0/24  (a "Class C" in old terms) you could
put

  Service= ^IP(192.168.10.0/24)

in your list to deny WWW access to the list.  But this would not prevent
access by email queries.
