Hi list.

I received the email below, which on the face of it looks pretty bogus 
(especially since this supposed 'list' email is personalised with my 
name). But the message headers show that this email was relayed to my MX 
server from the same MTA that relays legitimate emails from the 
bind-users list:

Received: from lists.isc.org (lists.isc.org [149.20.2.23])
     by mx.tait.net.nz (Postfix) with ESMTPS id E42DBA08D5
     for<nick at tait.net.nz>; Fri,  7 Jun 2024 04:20:02 +1200 (NZST)

So either the email below is valid, but if so I have no idea what it is 
for (and hence haven't clicked the link), or the email below is bogus 
and they have exploited the list MTA to distribute spam?

Can anyone shed any light on this? Happy to share all the mail headers 
if that helps?

Thanks,

Nick.
