It's public knowledge. The list spams originated from
dsmall9917@... & mel_levine@...

 From the headers, they originated from aol webmail and yahoo webmail 
mailservers respectively, indicating authentic accounts rather than merely 
spoofed sender addresses.

Both accounts have been used to post non-spam, on-topic issues to this 
list in the past, so are not specially created disposable spammer 
accounts. Therefore they have likely been compromised by someone cracking 
the passwords.

I've mailed Dave Small and Mel Levine to let them know.
