This is correct, and important. Last year a spammer used an Earthlink relay
to send out ads with my address spoofed in the reply field,
I contacted Earthlink and while they wouldn't close the SMTP relay
altogether (I still don't know why not), they did block outgoing email with
the math.hawaii.edu origin for me.
All this said, I'm really puzzled why anything on this list would trigger a
spam blocker, since it all comes from the listserver at
illuminati.stderr.org
