New kind of spam?



After sending a message to linux-il I've got this:

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Why should I care about yzhaki getting a note of my email??? It's a
list!!!

Tomorrow 100 people on the list will get this service up, so any time I'll
send to the list - I'll get 100 emails? This is crazy!!! See their ad -
it's FREE!!! This is a free nightmare!
I know that It should be blocked as any other spam, but it seems that I'll
spend most of my time to block these things.

Doesn't list software can't handle these issues?
