Well, I certainly didn't expect the last e-mail to the Cato list!!!
Looks like we got spammed guys (along with many other lists). Talked to
Tim Pierce who takes care of Rootsweb spams & here's his reply:

Hi --
Thanks for the report. I spent most of last night dealing with this
spam.
It was very difficult to filter this out, because the spammers keep
changing the text of their junk mail. Eventually, at 4:00am, I was
able to identify the network just upstream from them, UUNET, and spoke
with a tech there who was able to get in touch with their immediate
network providers,
Bellsouth.net.
It doesn't appear that
Bellsouth.net has done anything about this yet,
so I'll keep working on it. In the meantime, I think I've jury-rigged
filters that will keep most of this stuff off the lists. I hope.
If you want to help me complain about it, here are the people who are
behind it all:

address e-mail to abuse(a)Bellsouth.net which is the above domain's
service provider & should hopefully remove them from their service. If
possible, forward the original e-mail which was sent to the list when
you reply. I'm complaining loudly!!!)
