This was posted by someone who was actually a subscriber to the list.
And does have DKIM signatures from gmail - though I don't have the
tools to verify them.

It indicates to me that either someone got their account(s) hacked and
used to send it, or a spammer is sophisticated enough to create a
gmail account and subscribed it to the list before they post.. Which
seems quite advanced..
