It does not look like they used your gmail account. The headers says:

But it also says it was from you, I'm sure that Linkedin has figured out 
that's to make sure  that spam trappers think it is from a legitimate 
person.  And, in fact it did exactly what you asked it to do, contacted 
everyone on your list.  I'm not sure you should be so hard on the listserv.

By the way, it appears that there is a person associated with the list 
email address.  That's no doubt part of the problem.
