Spam is annoying, for sure. But I think every now and then spamassassin, 
or whatever system the board uses, dies, and on those days we get a 
bunch of spam. Usually, though, it's fixed pretty quickly ... until the 
next time.

It's quite possible that, as the list members aren't moderated, the 
sending bots actually sign up. I'm not sure about this, though. I've not 
tested the list with an unsigned address, either, but it's quite 
possible you do have to be a member to post.
