Rhino, Thought I would test your theory here as well as throw in my own. Mandrake is a root that was used in the Harry Potter series. It may be that your email was harvested because of the relation. Unless someone has just set this up I haven't had any issues in the past, other than some virus junk.
Also it helps if you pull the header info from the email so if this is true, it will give the list admin a better shot at finding a match. The only thing you can trust in the header to be accurate is the IP. Everything else can be forged.
