It's coming via [log in to unmask]  - the generic listowner
address for lists you own or co-own .. wegot hit with a bunch of these
too.. follows is the SPAM report I sent..and to whom:

NOTE.. I wrote a week or so ago about a Wish List item.. that -request@
emails get the same kind of stamp Listname@ posts do.. as you can see in
the full header below.. this looks all the world like there may be an open
relay on maelstrom, when there isn't.

These spams were sent to the generic listowner addresses of maelstrom [and
probably other listserv hosts] .. I got close to 20 of them them this
morning.
