It's more likely that people subscribe and then
spam.
I suspect Casper's theory is true based on my own
observations.
Nah. If you look at the headers and even the bottom of
the post, the spam is injected through
opensolaris.org's forum software:
They still need to go through an email verification process, so any spam
that makes it onto a list is either the result of moderator mistake or
an actual person manually sending spam, which can only be managed by
moderating every users first 1-2 posts.

You won't get this from posts sent in via email. Some
scripter is spamming through the forum application.
This is a very common problem facing webmail
providers/hosters and there are even stuff out there
that will enable you to use a webmail account as if it
was a pop3/smtp server. In my previous job, I had to
write a simple c program to help identify accounts
being used by scripting spammers and other criminals
such as 419 scammers and automate the disabling of
those accounts.
