So, if you really cannot change filter, then how about a message in the
email signature (added by the mailing list) or at least in the
"congratulations, you have subscribed" email, saying:

        Please try post in UTF-8 charset because we relieved too many
        spam from China/Korean/Japanese. Here is how to switch your
        email software to use UTF-8: <a link with a good
        easy-to-understand-article recommending UTF-8 and with howto for
        major email clients>

Tell me if you need to google out such an article to be use as
reference, I can try help you find out such article, especially if you
need it in Chinese.
