There is probably an ad scumbot subscribed to the list that is
auto-responding. Problem is, I can't tell who is who because of all the
anonymous Yahoo email subscriber addresses.
I've just noticed that I've also gotten a few of these insurance ad emails since it was mentioned onlist (I get over 200 spams/day, 99% of which go straight into the netherworld where they belong). The spam that actually finds its way into my real inbox is clever enough to make it past SpamAssassin and Thunderbird's learning filters.
Why is this happening? See

discussion of the problem.
