I got it also, but it wound up in my SPAM folder (my ISP provides
pretty good procmail filters for this junk).  A brief look seems to
indicate it is from success@xxxxxxxxxxxx  nowhere.com claims it is not
a spam haven.  A full copy of the message (including headers) should
be sent to abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Joel, you might want to look at the documentation for the
restrict_post keyword in the majordomo list configuration file.  The
comments in the deault configuration file seem to imply that if you
set this keyword equal to the name of the file that contains the list
of mailing list members, then only mailing list memebers can post.
You may have to get the staff at your ISP to change the configuration
file for you (assuming they don't let you do that already).
