They're not. However, our list archives are on the internet, where email
addresses can be farmed. I have yet to see a piece of actual spam
originated via the NKS list servers to this list. They have extensive
spam-fighting infrastructure, and I'd thrash the originator of spam if
he/she actually subscribed and started spamming.
In short, whatever you got was spoofed to look like it was from the SLUG
list. But a more careful look at the headers will show you it is not, in
fact, from NKS. (One clue is often that the originating IP doesn't match
that of any NKS servers.)
