I don't even bother to click the link. I looked at the email header and it 
doesn't look anything from Redhat, so I ignore it, to reduce the chance that 
I got spam even further.

They could have gotten the email address just by monitoring this list. That's 
why I never use my personal email address for any mailing list. I created 
special account for that. When the spam for that address becomes unbearable, 
I just create a whitelist: only email comes from the list server is accepted. 
So far it hasn't been that bad. That way I manage to keep my work/personal 
email address clean from spam. Basically, my rule of thumb, if my email 
address ever shows in a search engine, it'll get spam.
