Someone (or their 'bot) is spamming majordomo based lists forging the
addresses of legitimate subscribers.

Below is one instance (not a list managed at Cranfield, but one that I
am a member of).

I have heard unconfirmed reports that other lists have been similarly hit,
but have not yet confirmed that those were also out of mpx.com.au

Nonetheless, I am blocking all mail to Cranfield.ac.uk from mpx.com.au
(except to abuse or postmaster) as a preventative measure, until I hear
from mpx or learn that the problem is resolved.
