Every time I am involved in a discussion on this list, I receive 3-5 emails supposedly from girls wanting to meet up (for sex). The emails in question claim they are sent from email address tor-relays at lists.torproject.org (and always have the same email subject of the discussion I was involved in).

I don't recall seeing such messages. So they must be spoofing the from
address.

Maybe there's something in the headers that could be filtered on.

Also, I recall reading that Gmail doesn't actually parse headers
properly. If from address is spoofed to your address, it goes in your
outbox :) So maybe you need to use an old-school email client.
