It's one of the most popular scams on the net, called phishing. They try to get you to go to their site, a fake one made to look like the real thing, then get you to give them your account numbers and passwords so they can drain your account or charge up your credit card. Ignore them or forward it, along with full headers, to the REAL site, usually at abuse@nameofsite.com.
Never, ever, respond by clicking on anything in the email. Legitimate sites never send such a message to customers.
It could be someone using a Challenge-Response system and has forgotten that joining a mailing list sends challenges to anyone that sends to the list.
