This one was clearly intentional. Spambots generally spoof or leave
the "To:" field empty. In this case there was clearly a list of
names. It wasn't sent to the list, but I was able to find the
offender by the fact it went to the moderator address for this list.
There's a small chance it could be an infected computer, but that
too is enough reason to dump someone's account. We still don't need
that malware harvesting addresses and e-mailing everyone.

FWIW: I've mentioned this on my other groups, but I've run out of
patience with Yahoo. They have been making a lot of (mainly
cosmetic) changes, none of which add functionality of any kind, but
all of them have added bugs and made the systems harder to use,
along with the overdose of commercialism. I really hate blogs, but
that may be where I'm going to take this list now that I have the
sasxsek.org site set up.
