A notice on the web page here might help:

http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html

With it between the Mailing List Archives and English Mailing Lists 
sections, saying something like:

Test Messages

The lists freebsd-test, ..., ... have been created for test messages. 
Please use only these test lists for test messages.

Do not send test messages to any of the normal lists.
