I've wondered if some unscrupulous person has subscribed to the list so 
that they can receive a steady stream of email addresses that they can 
potentially send spam / phishing emails to.

I don't remember ever getting one of these types of messages.  So I 
can't comment about them with anything other than 2nd (or more) hand 
knowledge.  Though I run fairly tight anti-spam / anti-virus 
configuration on my server.

I would actually be interested in seeing full messages source, including 
headers, for some of the messages.  (If anyone is willing and interested 
in sharing.)
