That looks like a virus email, where the recipient was
"service@freebsd.org", and your cellphone number was forged as the
sending address.  The message bounced, and the bounce message ended up
on your cellphone.  I don't think anyone at freebsd.org was
responsible.  It's possible the sending address was randomly generated.
