Hi Dashamir,
You can check the list of subscribed e-mail addresses from the list
admin interface. Normally, the spammer(s) subscribed with an innocuous
e-mail address and they send the spend through those addresses. I am not
sure how the sender e-mail address does not appear in the headers; maybe
there is use of the BCC field?
As far as I understand, an e-mail from a person not subscribed will end
up in the queue, isn't it?
