Just FYI, it's not a real Canadian med site. It is high probability
not even Canadian.

Posting so many URLs which either are or should be listed in domain
block lists to a list with as many subscribers as this is probably not
wise. I'm guessing you just caused a wonderful bounce storm as the NANOG
servers attempted to send that out, depending of course on how many
people whitelist NANOG to URI filtering.

I would say one has their spamfilter configured incorrectly if such emails would be rejected and it should prompt an immediate fix.

The mailinglist should ideally be whitelisted. In addition if you use content scanning (in almost all cases a bad idea, see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8528672.stm ) your scanners ought to be trained well enough to figure out the email is not spam.
