Everybody who receives mail from cypherpunks@toad.com received this
message becuase the message was addressed to 
cypherpunks@toad.com.  Apparently someone may have 
joined this 'group' or service and used the cypherpunks address as 
the e-mail address.  Mayhap the cypherpunks@toad.com / cypherpunks
userid/password. 

This would be my guess, of course.

Does anybody know what this service does?

C|NET Central is a cable TV show which reports on the 'net.  The
service is their on-line address where you can get more details
on stuff they report.

Doesn't seem to be especially c-punks related, but I guess someone
didn't like the idea of having to reveal his identity just to look
at a web page.  You can probably assume that the password for the
"cypherpunks" userid on the server is either "cypherpunks" or
"writecode".
