Get the list software to listen on a different port. You will pretty much 
have to type SMTP into a telnet session to be able to send mail to the list. 
Choose a number, any number that isn't in use, so long as it isn't 25! ;)

I've seen this done before to set a 'base clue level' for incoming messages!
