Since the Klez virus is so prominent right now, I tend to think that 
Klez is sending the spam rather than a robot trolling the list for 
addresses. Klez fakes both the "from" and "to" addresses, using listings 
from an infected user's address book for both entries. That means that 
anyone with the infection who also happens to have the Rev mailing list 
in their address book could look like they were sending spam from the 
list. For more:
