Sorry,  you are pointing at the wrong source this time around.
I checked message logs (accumulation mailboxes), no non-member
postings have made to the list for quite a while.

That damn thing is picking up addresses at random, and became
so major nuisance that at work we installed following filter:

  ftp://zmailer.org/zmailer/smtp-contentfilter.sobig

I have begun to use parts of that filter at e.g. vger.kernel.org
with  "-1 250 ..." response, e.g. silent discard, instead of
more normal "-1 550 ..." rejection.
