Probably the mailing list administrator did something stupid like munging the headers. That tends to break certain anti-spam filtering.

And all that with the same $25 cost, of course.
Idiot.
Google does an excellent job of catching spam. The submitter's problem isn't that, it's that he's got other numpties giving out his email address and then he's not using the Google-supplied tool (that little "mark as spam" button) to mark unwanted email so that Gmail learns his preferences. Instead, he's Dunning-Krugered together his own solution that barely works.
Submitter's problem is PEBKAC.

The M15 was the subject of a patent dispute from Mark Goldstein, founder of the Goldtouch company, over the design of the adjustable ball joint, and was settled by a subsequent licensing agreement. In late 1995, Lexmark sold off certain designs and tooling relating to buckling spring keyboards, including the tooling necessary to make the M15, to Maxiswitch. Maxiswitch never produced any M15 keyboards themselves, and attempts to reacquire the tooling by interested parties have proved unsuccessful.

Doesn't do it on my gray-label 1391401. What's the model number on your baseplate sticker?
It came to me in 2001 and it's been my daily driver since then. Works every bit as well as a brand-new one. I'm occasionally tempted to upgrade to a 104-key model, but only occasionally.
This particular Model M was fitted with a WordPerfect keyboard template, and included a sticker on the Enter key that said "any key". The latter has long since worn off, alas.
They purchased the whole factory in Kentucky.
