No worries, this doesn't look like a security breach / hack. 

Anyone can simply look up the list owners at the publicly available
list info (http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/cw) and it's fair
to assume that the owners of the group are allowed to post; therefore 
spammers use these addresses to send spam/phishing etc. to the list.

I see this pattern a lot on mailman lists. Annoying, indeed.
