Email client ? Ha Ha Ha Ha ! Deletion will not prevent further spam from that source. So sad about the added traffic. relevant or not.

Re: Why did I receive the post about a Saudi Billionaire and the US Senate?
I'm seeing this Saudi post as well, so it's not just Colin. Since he's on Gmail like I am, I guess it's some kind of Gmail spam?? GMail is usually excellent at filtering out garbage...

Re: Why did I receive the post about a Saudi Billionaire and the US Senate?
It is trivially easy to forge the visible ‘From’ address on any email; this is, after all, why I apparently send myself spam all the time 8-) Email addresses are harvestable from all sorts of places (or heck even just synthesized. Back when we had a more hands-on approach to managing spam here we would routinely see long lists of names with ‘@pharmacy.arizona.edu’ attached, regardless of whether or not the accounts referenced actually existed. ) If you have enabled junk filters in your mail client (and/or use any of the online email services, who also tend to have effective spam filtering) the next most effective anti-spam strategery is: the delete key. delete it and move on. I vaguely remember seeing something like this email, to be honest I didn’t even really pay attention to what folder it landed in (which would be related to the list address per my account rules), just went “Well this is dumb” and hit the delete key. More traffic is usually generated on mailing lists complaining about errant spam than the actual spam itself, often by several orders of magnitude.

Re: Why did I receive the post about a Saudi Billionaire and the US Senate?
I visited the iMac list page ( which Google calls a group ) I do not see anything on there about a Saudi . You can assume your email addy was copped from Google and is now hacker/marketer property. Handle it like spam. Check the full address from where it was sent. you may find a clue as to the true origin. LEM filters quite well, so I am fairly confident that while it may say the name of the list it is a spoofed send. Try using whatever clues you find to filter as spam and take any other anti spam measures you feel are appropriate.
