Okay, let me ask a slightly different question. I am getting several of
these Microsoft emails every day and I think that they are coming via
this list. Is anyone else having similar problems or am I following a
red herring?

Red-herring. We get several dozens of these each day from different
sources. It is general spam.

Now, since you have joined a mailing list your e-mail address is
archived with posts to the list. Spambots regularly troll archive lists
fishing for addy's to place upon the list. So if you never had spam
before joining the MySQL list you may be receiving some by virtue of
having joined and having your e-mail addy farmed. This is one
possibility
