Anne, the way that such addresses are often harvested is that one of
the spammers (or his agent) becomes a member of the list and simply
records the addresses of persons posting to the list.  They then
get spammed.

I rather suspect that's exactly what's happening here.  I've gotten three,
but a colleague who is subscribed but has never posted has gotten zero,
despite sharing the same email infrastructure and thus precisely the
same configuration.
