BLU list spam

[Tom Metro]

Anyone else notice the spams showing up on the list today? It appears 
there is a simple short term fix for this, and I sent the message below 
to the list admins a few days ago, but it either got lost or is being 
ignored. (Oddly it seems any time I've emailed BLU list admins during 
the past few years at the addresses below, I've never received a response.)

It appears some spammer has hit upon the magic combination of forging a
list member's address while sending spam to the list address. We
received one of these a week or so ago, and now three today. Here are
the full headers from one of the three messages:

A short term fix - providing this is just a fluke and the spammers
haven't accomplished this feat intentionally - might be to have John
Abreau subscribe to the list using a different address.
