I haven't read about this otherwise, but as a list owner, for one week I have been seeing a constant barage of spoofed mail from all over the world directly to [log in to unmask] for one specific list.

The source of these spoofs are from many different PCs and their IP addresses are not cloaked by open SMTP gateways.  

The FROM: userid (and name) @ HOTMAIL.COM are random. Eudora Bayesian filtering doesn't help.  Obviously LISTSERV has to process these as "normal" bounces.  I would have posted this to [log in to unmask] but I'm thinking that fellow LISTSERV(R) list-owners would be interested in hearing (and possibly reacting to) this.

Here's an example (oops, the first one was too racy, let's try one that won't offend the dirty word filters):
