I can guarantee there is no explicit connection between portal2 or
outblaze and either Mailman or python.org.  I highly doubt there's any
implicit connection either, i.e. they aren't using Mailman.  From the
Message-ID of the message you forwarded, I'd say it's a good guess
they're using Lyris <wink>.

It's also almost impossible that you got bombarded by someone
harvesting mailman-users because 1) there's no way they could have
done that in just a few minutes; 2) why didn't anybody else get
spammed?
