That's what happened, Gordo.
Look at the source of the original post and it's obviously originating from
189.223.76.180 (Tijuana), despite the spoofed "From:" field. You can't spoof
the
originating IP, because it's added by the first relay, not by the original
poster.

It is possible to *munge* the sender's address in Mailman.
The from field would then look like this:
FROM: A. N. Other via WMUK (wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org).
