Not necessarily, (s)he can merely subscribe with an email address that is
universally accessible and read -security there, or forward their
work/home email to the other location and spoof their own email address if
they're replying from the "wrong" location.

What about spammers that don't have static IPs?

I like Mark's idea of making the list subscriber-only. As has been
pointed out, it _is_ a discussion list, so people interested in using it
should be subscribing.
