A common practice by spammers is forging mail headers:

From: EnviroSpec@interchange.redhat.com
Reply-To: interchange-users@developer.akopia.com
X-Reply-To: specials@envirospec.com

But the IC mailman spoiled their plans by changing the reply-to field to 
the interchange address (you can see the old address).  FYI,
