Yeah this is quite probable, You could also imagine that a bot has been subscribed the list perhaps and is collecting copies of every mail we send along with our address's. I use my standard work address for the subscription so couldnât say whether I receive spam from the list or not.

I think what is happening is that even though the addresses are taken out of the web archive postings, people (me included) forget sometimes to take the poster's address out of their reply. Then the address ends up in the archives, ready for scrapers to pull them from the page(s). Just a theory.
