The problem is that the lists (or at least the pypy list) got mirrored somewhere without having the addresses obscured. Spam robots found the mirrors and scanned for email addresses as they usually do. The addresses then circulate between the spammers and get on more and more lists. It doesn't matter whether the list reflectors forward spam or not. Spammers send crap to the addresses directly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
