I've gotten these emails as well. Since I have my own email server, I
configured Postfix to block the spam address. For me, the address was
consistently the same. I thought that it was just a problem with my spam
filter, but looking here even Gmail users got these messages.
I also uploaded a few of these messages to SpamCop (and if you still
have your emails, you should also).
IMHO we should just block emails from *.mexyst.com domains (it seems
everyone got a different sending address), no matter what email we use.
Gmail, Outlook, ProtonMail, Riseup, or even your own server if you're
like me.

Thank you.
Wow, that's bizarre! I thought that you meant occasionally, not after
every post. But still, someone could be watching for your posts, and
then sending spam to you with tor-relays@lists.torproject.org as a
spoofed from header.
I get that this is off-topic, and that most of you are rolling your
eyes. But if anyone else has seen this, I'd like to know.
And as I've said, I'm happy to review some source, and see if some
header could be used to block.

Yes, but the emails are saying that they are from the
tor-rel...@lists.tororoject.org email address. They must be spoofing
the email address it’s coming from somehow. I just thought that I’d
say something as given that they are making their emails come from
that email address could mean that these spammers could have somehow
gotten who is subscribed to the relay mailing list as this is my
personal email and not a school or company owned google account, no
one else has access to this email account but me so not sure how they
would have known I am subscribed. I would supply a copy of the email
but that may be tough as they contain nudity and graphically
intensive language.
How long have you been receiving them? I see that your first post to
the
list was on 2018-04-10. Anyone, whether subscribed or not, can get
that
from http://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/.
Please feel comfortable sending message source for one of them to me.
Not just forwarding. Get the source text (in Thunderbird, it's just
"View Source") and email as an attachment.

Hello fellow relay operators,
My apologies as this is not related to tor relays, however, there
seems to be several spammers subscribed to the relay list. Every
time I am involved in a discussion on this list, I receive 3-5
emails supposedly from girls wanting to meet up (for sex). The
emails in question claim they are sent from email address
tor-relays@lists.torproject.org (and always have the same email
subject of the discussion I was involved in).
I don't recall seeing such messages. So they must be spoofing the
from
address.
I am somewhat in a trap as blocking them with spam filters would
block all emails sent from the relay lists address. I am wondering
what could be done about this (the email provider in question is
Gmail).
Maybe there's something in the headers that could be filtered on.
Also, I recall reading that Gmail doesn't actually parse headers
properly. If from address is spoofed to your address, it goes in
your
outbox :) So maybe you need to use an old-school email client.
Thank you.
