I've just received the second email of this nature. When I look into a mirror it cracks and at 65 just getting up is a chore. I ask my wife if I could reply to the email but she said no! We're being spammed, brother! Phillip

I'm flattered -- coming up 75 and uglier than sin -- but just wondering if it's only happening to me?
It's definitely a thing that happens. All they need to do is subscribe an address to the list, and have a bot reply to everything.
Short of screening every single email address (which wouldn't be impossible, but a bit of work*), we can't tell what the subscribed address is. This is maybe something that is reaching the point of worth doing however.
(* send a "testing, please don't reply" message to every address on the list with a custom 'from' address that maps to every destination address, and when you get the spam reply, you know where it came from and you can kick them.)
