Someone (call them A) signs up to a FreeBSD mailing list.
Someone else (call them B) sends spam to the same FreeBSD mailing list. The
mailing list fails to recognise this as spam, and forwards it on to everyone
else.
"A"'s system decides that the message is spam (either automatically, or with
human involvement). "A" hasn't realised that the message came through the
list, and reports it to SpamCop.
SpamCop lists FreeBSD.org servers as the source of the spam.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
