Do these lists no longer require that senders be > subscribed to the list? They never did require that, except for a few (-hackers and -current, I think).

My guess is that some spammer accidentally managed to circumvent the antispam filters. That happens once in a while. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
