The folks at mpcustomer.com have a badly-written (per RFC-3834) autoresponder robot.  It generates responses with a From: header copied from the original human sender.  Some childish script kiddie, upon becoming aware of such a poorly designed system, forged a subscription between it and the FreeBSD mailing lists, so people posting to the list get spammed by mpcustomer.com tickets.

Given that <postmaster@mpprotect.com> doesn't work, I've been reporting this spam to the ISP hosting their netblock, <abuse@networklayer.com>.
