I just received the email below as spam via wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org. However the email is clearly not sent via the mailing list as it is lacking the footer and subject and also am I not subscribed to that lists. It does however appear to be sent via the Wikimedia mail servers:
Quite confusing, I concur. Are you a mailing list moderator/administrator? Mails sent to list admin addresses (like wikimania-l-owner@lists.wikimedia.org) are routed via wikimedia servers, but don't get lists footers. As they spam to many addresses the To: headers doesn't always match with the address from which you're receiving them. I have got mails at an owner address with a different owner mail set in the To:
I am a list moderator, but not of wikimania-l. I was made mod of daily-image-l yesterday and today I got <s>two</s> three spam mails. The first one was from aock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org, the second from wikimania-l and the third one from aock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org.
I checked the logs, and it looks like you received that mail as moderator of daily-image-l indeed. Although not visibile in the headers, the mail actually had a large number of lists as recipients, both list addresses and -owner aliases.
When I think about it, it is actually not that strange that the mails come through. The Wikimedia mail servers probably relay all images from and to wikimedia.org addresses, regardless of the originating IP address.
No, they certainly don't.
