I am afraid changing the password has no effects...  that kind of hacking, known as "Joe jobbing",
does not use your password...  faked emails are sent with your email address in the From:  field,
which is the only field checked by the list server to accept or not the incoming mail to the list...

And the faked emails are not sen using the SMTP server of your provider, so no need to know your
password...  the only (weak) defense is to set an SPF entry in your DNS record, but this works
only if the recipient of the message does implement an SPF checking feature...  and few do that...
