Everyone on the list got it. Someone went to the trouble of subscribing
service(_at_)paypal(_dot_)com to the list and then sending the messages.
But isn't subscription two-step process which requires reply back from
service(_at_)paypal(_dot_)com after they receive confirmation? That should have
stopped from being able to send the message through.
The same one's went to spf-help, but fortunately they hadn't subscribed
correctly and so they were moderated.
Do you think this was done manually or by automated tool?
I think I've stopped (or at least made it harder) for this to happen again.
