I have received the hahaha and sexyfun emails, as well as many others from a
variety of sources over the past 4 months since signing up for hotmail as my
email provider.  I never got them when I used the Texas A&M email service.
With hotmail, I just 'block sender' on whatever the return address is.  Next
time the same thing comes from someone else.  My theory is that this is a
program that searches out keywords in emails sent, and then sends
invitations to view pornographic images.  I suspect that one of the keywords
that triggers these emails is "breasts."  Thus, it makes sense that when
people post to LactNet, they then receive one or more of these emails.  I
don't think they are coming from anyone on LactNet, I think it is a program
that is able to track email and then send what it assumes are welcome emails
about pornography to the sender of the message that includes the word
'breast.'  Just my theory.
