Vol,
If you check the headers that Matt included, you see that the mail has
actually been sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address, and got distributed
through the mailinglist.

Well, the parties here is the members of [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's not a matter
of insecure mailservers, or that a mail has orginated from Inter7. It's a
matter of bad configured mailinglist.

Vol is correct about forgery of the mailheaders, especially others domains
as the return/from address. This I guess have happened to all of us and is
one of the most used method for dist. of SPAM.
