Yes. And I've already contactee them. This is waht they said:

  Hello,

  Flickr allows its users to upload photos via email to a
  secret email address tied to their account.  These can be
  uploads from a cameraphone or other device, or a script, or
  a regular ol' email client.  When we encounter problems with
  the upload, we respond back to the email address that the
  upload was sent from to let them know.  In this case, the
  email appeared to be from a mailing list you are a member
  of, so the error response got sent there.  I've added the
  address of your mailing list to our block list to make sure
  this doesn't happen again, and gotten in touch with the user
  involved to try and figure out if these upload attempts were
  done on purpose or not.

  Thanks for your report.

  Cheers,
  Myles
