 Can't rely on the bots relay list. It can read from, and write to, any relay it wants. It probably subscribes to new kind 1 events from most of the popular free relays and automatically replies to that event on all relays. Maybe the relay it mentions in it's post is the first it reads the note from? 
 i think the relay it mentions in the message is the one the note *goes to*
at least, in this case: i see it coming from primal.net in my client, and it mentions primal.net

what i wonder is where it reads the original note from, because i don't write to primal.net
i suspect damus.io or nos.lol even though they don't have the spam themselves 😀  
 Yeah, it's probably like this:
1. Bot subscribes to kind 1 events from a big set of relays
2. Bot receives a new event from any relay
3. For each relay it wants to write to, it signs a reply event (mentioning the relay url).
4. Send all the signed reply events to all relays
