We had examples of that before, skillful programming which can mimic 
the address of a list server. Andy Rudoff has laid this on the table 
already:

Maybe I shouldn't have bothered the list with this, but I thought the 
list would be amused by the creativity of the Nigerians (who knows, 
maybe out-of-work Ukrainians). I haven't heard back from the director 
of my son's school to hear whether anyone else on their mail list 
also received it. I doubt it went through the school's server. Why 
would it have to?
