I'm getting them too, but I don't think they are passing as
regular list-mail. If I read the headers correctly (I'm no
expert), it isn't going via the majordomo list traffic but cuts
into the csua.b.e bulk mailing program that the majordomo list
uses.

Perhaps csua.b.e has been compromised or misconfigured to provide
an open relay for spammers.
