I somehow doubt it, probably intentionally using the reminders to find
out what addresses are 'live' and read by a human being. I'm guessing
they built a list from trawling web sites and/or newsgroups, and are
trying to clean it up. Then will either sell the list and/or feed it
into a 'real' spam engine.

Kinda sneaky, as Mailman reminders will pass right through most kinds of
filtering I know. And it's not difficult to find a cheap hosting
provider that offers Mailman mailing lists, and individual Mailman
'reminder' messages can't exactly be reported as spam to the hosting
provider.

Odd that this seems to only be coming through on open source lists. I
wonder if this is a list that's targeted at the OSS community?
