That was not spam. It was an out-of-office message from a list member.
If someone on the list has an auto-reply service then each sender of a
message to the list gets an auto-reply. This is perfectly normal. Of
course, for precisely this reason it is not a good idea to enable an
auto-reply service for an address that is subscribed to mailing lists.
