I don't know julian of twinax.org but I guess his mail has been
hijacked. He has been sending this spam before and to cctalk/cctech as
well.

How the hell does someone as theoretically techie as the people on this list get their
freaking email address compromised?
Then again I totally forgot I had bought 12 Bitcoins for about $200 back in like 2009. I
reinstalled the client since I found the wallet, they?re worth $5,500 today.
I?m having a good morning.

?Be careful with over arching statements. It's trivial to forge someone
else's email address. Yes, most of us set up our systems so that the
rcvr should do sender authentication, but not all receiving systems do, and
it's optional etc. So stuff happens. As someone with a 40+ year domain
name its still a problem - forgeries are ripe.
I think the better question is techie's should be able to recognize most
junk that get's through the filters. The good news is that most of it
does get stopped, but those messages that do make it thru, we need to be
"always watching."

Actually my bad - SMTP is so broken it?s not even funny.
I remember we were having a few beers in the Students Union during my MSc and I figured
that since there?s no requirement to define how much data a message contains, it would be
pretty easy to just open 100+ connections to a mail server and keep feeding it crap until
it falls over. So off to the testing lab we went.
In 2004 with 100 connections on 100 Mbps LAN, I think it took sendmail ABOUT 4 minutes.

Nope, you should not. Someone got hacked, or got a virus or something.
HECnet only allows posts from subscribed members...

Not necessarily; that depends on how thorough the list server is. A substantial fraction
of this sort of criminal email has forged sender addresses. I occasionally get bounce
messages sent to me in response to forgeries that clearly (from their forwarding headers)
did not originate on my system, or even in my country.

I just looked at the headers of the offending message: it certainly looks like a forged
source address. It is not entirely clear which of the forwarding headers are real, but
possibly an ISP in Sweden is part of the path. Open relay somewhere?
