The spammers are looking up email addresses of subscribers and forging

headers to make it appear that the mail is coming from the subscriber.

I don't think this would be a trivial thing to do. Alternatively we can

make the list anonymous. I think it just removes users email all

together. This isn't that bad, but I'm not sure if it preserves the

name or not though. If it doesn't even preserve the name of the sender

then conversation would be incomprehensible.
