Gene Thanks for that information. That's what we needed to know - that it didn't originate, in any way, from LUG machines

That immediately shows that it isn't from the LUG. As far as the email addresses are concerned there are programs that "harvest" email addresses from news groups and use them for all sorts of purposes. If you belong to any email users group or subscribe to any news group you WILL eventually get "harvested" The user group or newsgroup can not protect you from that type of abuse. It is a sad fact of life that we have to live with and learn to deal with.
