I very seriously doubt that.
The lists are, however, open to all comers as far as sending a message to
most (if not all) Debian lists.
To show that the messages are in fact coming through the Debian lists, you
want to have a look at the Recieved: headers for the message. If it's gone
through the Debian servers, then yes, it has been sent to a debian list
submission address. You should be able to tell which list(s) by the info in
the headers.

Possibly because the lists are being sent these messages, and it's just
faithfully passing them on.
Listmasters, if there is enough spare processing power, amavis with clamav
does catch these - I'm presuming it would be a fairly straightforward thing
to install. I understand if it's not practical to install however.
