Graham Simpson has previously complained about getting spam. I think he 
was just subscribed to the list. Mako sent him instructions on how to 
unsubscribe a couple of months back:

I assumed he would have unsubscribed himself, but as he was still on the 
list I just took him off.

I'm sure that spammers use the okfn list addresses in the From: field. 
Is there anything that can done about this?
