Ah, the ever popular vigilante spam method.  What if the message is coming 
from, say, gmail.com, and it's getting routed so that you're not sure 
which account is originating it?  Do you blackhole everybody on *that* 
server just because there's one idiot?

This is the same problem on a smaller scale.  It's not clear which account 
is reponsible, and I believe I saw that there are other people using the 
same ISP who also subscribe to the list.  That's why Marc is testing who 
the guilty party is rather than unsubscribing everyone there.
