As I'm on Seelangs and haven't received them, almost certainly not.
 What's more likely is that one subscriber to some Slavic-related list
(or one with a lot of Slavic-related websites cached on his or her
computer automatically in the course of visiting them) has infected
himself or herself with Klez.  Klez fakes the "from" address, and mails
to others it finds from a variety of sources (not just addresses in some
programs' address books).
