I think it very unlikely that the messages are coming through Rootsweb, If they were everyone would get them. More likely that their addresses have been hacked and used. I, as one of the admins, am not seeing any scam messages coming from the Devon list.

Message headers show this to be so. Ancestry admit they have issues and worryingly, admins are unable to do anything about because Ancestry have turned of moderation. Further, it's no coincidence that as soon as the RootsWeb lists came back up, my daily spam message count went up from one or two to thirty to forty. >If they were everyone would get them. More likely that their addresses No. That would depend on their spam filtering. Some ISPs are better at it than others. >have been hacked and used.
