This morning we had a lot of spam coming in to dev-l10n from one user.
https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-l10n
Attached is an example of source.
Email: huidaoffice@gmail.com
Here's the problem: the user doesn't show up in the list of members. How can they send emails to the mailing list? Via Google Groups?

It depends on the privacy options, configured by mailing list owner.
Tip to prevent spammers from posting to the list:
See the mailing list administration page --> Privacy options --> Sender filters
Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. => select "Hold"
Should messages from non-members, which are automatically discarded, be forwarded to the list moderator? => select "Yes" (if you want to review messages from non-members

Does that help, given that the spammer wasn't subscribed, and their post should be hold?

Still depends on your decision.
Couple options there, you could simply choose to reject or discard but might also reject/discard non-spam posts. :)

I think we can close, thanks for the explanation. I noticed at least 2 message in the queue this morning, so it's working.

Please don't close it. The problem is not the mailing list, but the newsgroup. I just connected to news.mozilla.org, subscribed to mozilla.dev.l10n and posted, with an address that I had not registered. And the message ended up in the mailing list.
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.l10n/lrLfbdQZTdM/jjQIEOtyAwAJ
The newsgroup server should be secured, or maybe set as read-only while we figure out how to protect it.
