Yep. I am seeing it too. It is not a message inserted by the listserv;
if you look at the source of the message (headers and all) you will
see that the warning is not part of the email.
It is just Gmail warning Gmail users of the evil intentions of other
Gmail users. ,-)

I find it recommendable that Google attempts to implement some sort of
phising counter measures into Gmail, but basing the phising warnings
on only the fact that the senders email address is from a specific
domain -- rather than the content, is just plain ridicilous.
