I just received two weird spam emails froom the list

One was a bounce from cctalk to my email address, obviously a cheap
attempt at forging headers that failed.
The second is just weird. Did anybody get it and figure out what's going
on?

Hi David, thanks for your reply. The headers on the one I got looked odd to
me. I thought the "Received" header was always supposed to be reliable but
it looked like on the one I got it was sent through my ISP. But I don't run
Exim (or any mail server actually) and I checked both the boxes on my
LAN that were online at the time for exploits and they're both clean. Can't
figure out how the spammer is getting email into the system. Anyway I hope
the list owner figures it out.
Maybe Richard can track him down since the telephone number on the ad is
from SLC and have a discussion with him back behind the
barn.
