This morning, I got email purportedly from the gentoo-doc mailing list
admin saying my computer was sending spam (plausible because I run my
own MTA, and it happened once before -- significant hardware and
software changes afterward, though). 

I had to leave right away, so I shut down postfix.

When I got back, I looked at their email more closely, and I'm confused.
The envelope headers look genuine, but the attachment is a .exe which
makes me think it's likely the Windows worm de jour. But what's the
gentoo-doc mailing list doing sending out naughty email?

Have any of you received spam from slsware.com or from my mailer's IP
(206.168.186.2)?

Here's what I got:
