Anyone else get some spam with subject "Welcome New Member!"
recently? I got two copies (relayed through different hosts),
one with the mail headers below which seems to reveal the
source of the name harvesting as this list ...

I am guessing it is a result of mailing list being gatewayed to
the news group, but if anyone who hasn't posted messages has
received it, it would indicate the mailing list itself was
compromised.
