The geek in me would love to know how this sort of thing is done. i.e. how
can these scum use any arbitrary address to bounce off their trash ?

This is an old topic.  It's called "spam on the procmail list"

Again, I didn't see this spam, must have hit my filters somewhere.

Basically they just send it BCC to the procmail list.

Want to catch it?

:0:
* ^X-Loop: procmail(_at_)informatik\(_dot_)rwth-aachen\(_dot_)de
* !^TOprocmail(_at_)informatik\(_dot_)rwth-aachen\(_dot_)de
SPAM-procmail

will catch all messages which are BCC'd to the group.

There are other methods, but they have been mentioned repeatedly, so I won't  
repeat them.
