That isn't the problem, look what the same guy posted in the Panorama 
list, also replying on an unrelated posting:

I checked his subscription, it did came from his account, so I think
someone abused it. 
I unsubscribed him and told him to take more care of his
password....8-))

The reason why the IR list doesn't have a To: IR-list is probably because 
listproc is different than majordomo or listserv. Haven't seen the 
option in the manual, so I guess it can't be changed.
Just use a smart mailclient (PS: Pegasus/WinPmail is *FREE*), and you 
have all the mail coming from this list dropped into its own folder. 
No confusion, no tedious mail reading, you can even save that mail 
for after work....;-))
