Indeed, the adress points to the forums, not the list. There is a Ubuntu 
Users Mailing List Thread, representing the traffic of this very list.

Since the worm which I receive for two days now is identified as 
W32.Sober.I (Symantec) it must be pointed out that the sender adresses 
of the mails containing this pest are forged.* The worm found this 
adress somewhere on the hard disk of the infected user and uses it to 
conceal the sender.
