So, for me, it appears that the jerk spammers have advanced, Instead of sending spam to the tor-relays@lists.torproject.org email address, they are now directly sending spam to specific addresses subscribed to the list. I got one today from colemanrosettad@gmail.com, and have been receiving some over the last few days that were sent directly to this email address. I did not think they were related, but the other email addresses the one I received today was also sent to the addresses below, which I believe are addresses that are subscribed to the list. I have reported it to Google via their abuse report email address which is registrar-abuse@google.com, so I will see what they say (and forward it to the list if requested).
The other addresses were: johndalton289@gmail.com, and teor2345@gmail.com. I tried attaching a photo of the "to" field but it was rejected due to size limitations.
Just thought I'd give a heads up.

I looked it up. You can forward the spams that the Gmail address are sending to registrar-abuse@google.com, which reports spam emails and inappropriate content being sent by Gmail users to Google. Try that.

Dang. I stopped getting them for a while due to the SPAM filter I
configured in Gmail, however they are now coming through again. These
spammers are trying to be smart by sending these spam messages from
different domains; they are now coming from
scarlettsofia710182@it.argmx.com
Anyone else getting these?
Thanks.
I haven't received those after posts since June 27. And nothing from
*.argmx.com. But I am getting sex spam from a few Gmail addresses, with
blank subject lines. New, and perhaps related.

Maybe there is a mailman module that lets you send a different
watermarked
mail to each subscriber, or to send mails out with different timing
patterns to do a binary search over the list, in order to discover
which
addresses are triggering the spam? But I don't know of an easy way to
do it.
That would be a bad precedent, I think ;)
Also, I hear from at least one person that some tor-dev subscribers are
getting spams too. :(
Searching for the spam addresses, I found reports from other mail lists.
So it's not just Tor lists.
