Mostly likely someone on this list is associated with the site and have an 
email-to-web system setup so that every post gets converted to the web.  I 
manage a few birding related mailing lists which are mirrored by more than one 
website.  Fortunately the subscribers that run those sites are savvy enough to 
obfuscate the email addresses of posters so that the spammers don't harvest 
them.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to stop anyone from doing exactly what you've 
discovered.  So I just choose to live with it and keep my spam filters 
up-to-date :-).
