It appears that the spam is not actually coming from this list per se. The spam emails seem to have a From or Subject as 'get_iplayer' But the origin (looking at the raw headers) is nothing to do with get_iplayer. BTW clicking on any embedded link could well place a trojan virus on one's

Hi Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but recently I have been getting quite a lot (4-5 a week) of emails pretending to be from get_iplayer, sometimes they show get_iplayer in the address field sometime there are one or more letters changed for example get_xplryer or get_iplaygr. The strange

Hi Mark Thanks for the reply Below are the headers from two of the messages, but it all looks a bit random to me, I also don't understand half of it. I haven't opened the attachments, but they indicate that they are HTML pages, I think that it is probably spam advertising, as I said the

Hi I purposely haven't clicked on the links, as I suspected that they will probably do something nasty, It looks like I will keep deleting, or maybe report them as spam Luckily this is not my primary email account therefore not giving me too much grief. Anyway thanks for all your input.
