First, that (assuming I understand correctly) the message was
apparently sent by means other than the list suggests that a list of
subscribers was indeed divulged. Second, while the label "spam" might
be a value judgement, it was certainly "unsolicited commercial email."
Third, it is unclear that there was any means to opt out of such
solicitations.

By the applicable ethical standards I'm aware of, all of these are
problematic.
