[Mailman-Users] Spam through my mailman?

Hi,

I am receiving spam to my list-owner address that appears to be sent
from the same list-owner address.  Here are some of the headers,
anonymized a bit (google is there because my email is forwarded to my
gmail address).

Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of
mailman-bounces at my.server.com designates MY.IP.ADDR.ESS as permitted
sender) client-ip=MY.IP.ADDR.ESS;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;
       dkim=pass header.i=@my.server.com;
       spf=pass (google.com: domain of mailman-bounces at my.server.com
designates MY.IP.ADDR.ESS as permitted sender)
smtp.mailfrom=mailman-bounces at my.server.com
DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; q=dns/txt; c=relaxed/relaxed;
d=my.server.com; s=mcmaildk;
    h=Sender:Content-Type:Date:Message-Id:MIME-Version:Subject:To:From;
bh=(STUFF)

Sender: "Mylist" <mailman-bounces at my.server.com>

The SPF and DKIM passes make it seem like this spam is actually being
sent from my server, not just from somewhere else with a spoofed
sender.  Is there some way that my mailman may be misconfigured that
could be allowing the spammer to spam through it in this way?  Or has
my server been hacked?

Thanks!!
Mike
