I've noticed a very recent increase in spam on both my LISTSERV lists and my Lyris lists (i.e., it's certainly not limited to LISTSERV AFAICT). Note' that these are *attempted* spammings; all but a very few of my lists are configured SEND-BY-SUBSCRIBERS only (in ListProc parlance), which nearly eliminates spam on those lists. - Vince
