I wouldn't have thought so, or we'd be inundated with spam.
As it is, we seem to get just the odd one or two. I suspect they
subscribe, bide their time, then post it.
That, or they simply read the list and copy some poster's address and
fraudulently post as them. Of course, if other anti-spam techniques
only accept mail from a user from their own mail servers, that ought
to stop that approach.
Apparently so. I was extrapolating from the fact that in the past I
think I've seen posts from people who explicitly say they aren't on the
list, but I may be misremembering.
