Regarding recent spam on the list

Just curious if anyone knows the origin of all these auto-responses, etc. I'm seeing a lot of these on every list I'm subscribed to (not all of them FreeBSD related) so I was wondering if some Windows trojan is running rampant and using these list addresses as return addys? Anyone know? -- Bill
