Maybe you have some spam filtering, or other system sitting in between
after the majordomo hecnet processing, which caught it?
It definitely went through the hecnet list processor anyway.
And as others have pointed out, it is not hard to forge a sender. The
trick with hecnet is that you need to fake a sender which is subscribed
to the list, which seriously limits what passes through.
Either they got lucky, which I personally feel unlikely, they targeted a
known user, spamming all over the place based on what he had sent to in
the past (very possible), or the actual persons account have been
compromised (also possible).
I have not digged much deeper into this, and I don't think anything will
change because of this incident. I think I'm close to the 100.000 mails
blocked before this one came through.

No, it came through to the whole list. I saw it here and deleted it. I also got it on one
of my Yahoo Groups lists for model railroading topics. I was surprised to see it here.
It's a common occurrence on the Yahoo Groups. Someone is always getting their email
address spoofed or, occasionally, their Yahoo account hacked.
