Unfortunately, when a person's email address is hijacked and he or she is subscribed to mailing lists, those spams sent from the hijacked email address will get through no matter what, unless the list is moderated.
My personal Yahoo email was hijacked earlier this year, before this method started becoming prevalent. Imagine my surprise when I found an email in my Yahoo "sent" folder that I didn't send! Obviously the problem was on the server level because my computer wasn't on at the time the email was sent.
