What you're seeing is automated malware spam hitting the list address,
but the NetBSD mailing list software is stripping the attachment
containing the malware.  All that's left is the short text part.

I don't quite understand why the NetBSD postmasters haven't put a stop
to this yet.  I'm not seeing these attacks even in my stopped mail, so
either they're avoiding me totally (hard to believe) or there's
something else that's stopping them - most likely one of my SMTP
conformance defenses.  (The particular one you responded to would have
been stopped by a no-rDNS test, but when I stop mail for no rDNS, I log
a copy, and as I said I'm not seeing these even in the form of logged
copies.)

I don't quite understand why they don't drop (or reject) the whole
message upon seeing the unwanted attachment, rather than just stripping
the attachment....
