Check the headers; the spams have been propagated via the list itself.
As far as the 'remove' "feature", that's just a way to get away with
distributing spam software. Bear in mind that spammers are rarely
selling anything; spam is a denial-of-service attack masquerading as
business mail. Note the phony unsub posts; they're spelled wrong so
majordomo won't recognize the keyword and divert them from the list.
Why a listmom of a firewalls list would put up with these shenanigans
is beyond me.
