No, I've checked.  The spam is being sent through the list mail server,
suggesting that omniscient.com has enabled foreign relaying.  The spam does not
have the normal set of headers you would expect from a legitimate list message,
but it does have a legitimate origin in omniscient.com.  Perhaps they're not as
omniscient as they think?  :-)
