Might as well start a list and start removing them huh?
The problem with these messages is the sending addresses aren't list
members. I've looked through the headers of messages sent to me by
affected members, and none of the addresses or servers listed in the
headers match up with the membership list. The messages are being sent
directly, not through the list, so I don't think there's anything I can
do block them at the server level.
It's most likely that someone on the list has a machine that has
botnet malware sitting on it, replying to incoming mail by sending
forged-sender messages through third-party servers. Or else someone
subscribed to the list for the sole purpose of doing this intentionally,
which comes to much the same thing.
So, this is a good time for everyone to update their anti-virus
software and otherwise make sure that their machines are free of
malware. Short of that, I'm not sure what can be done. I'm certainly
happy to look at any evidence people can glean regarding the source of
the messages, because I'd like to stop them too.
