If the LIST is hosted in the US, I'd imagine that those that host the
list can be bound by US laws.  If the USERS/correspondents on the list
are NOT in the US, I doubt if they can be held to US law enforcement.

(However, there have been some recent examples - within the last 12-18
months - where people in a foreign - to the US - country were arrested
and turned over to the US FBI.  And there have been cases where foreign
servers were confiscated by local LEO and turned over to the US LEO...)

Your guess is as good as mine.

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.
