Iemmc.org seems to be for real.  I got some spam over another list
from someone else who used their list for "ethical use of direct
email" (its on their web site).  Went to iemmc, pasted in the mail
list addy, verification came back to the list, sent iemmc the list +
verification, and bang, gone.  Since then though, their form seems to
have stopped working.

As for filtering it.  If it can't be filtered at the list end, and you
have access to procmmail, install it, and use a rule something like:
:0
* ^X-Advertisement: Visit http://www.iemmc.org for name removal \
information
>/dev/null  (or to a spam folder for furhgter anlysis.)

Theres a
procmail archive somewhere that has a bunch of these recipies, and
there are several spam filter collections, most notably SpamBouncer at
ariel.com (somewhere in there, don't have url to hand).
