it has come to my attention...

[Richard Campbell]

it has come to my attention that spammers are now monitoring this list, 
harvesting email addresses.  I'm slowly starting to get spam, filters 
are catching most of it, but i ONLY use this email box for the list and 
for talking to a select few people, so i know it's coming from the list.

You might want to review the users in this list...

Don't forget it's on the web also, so they can harvest without being on
the list.

There is (IIRC) software that checks isps for certain variations of 
e-mail address then
records what is available.

Yes I have noticed that also, I also only use this for lists, I
subscribe to ReactOS lists, and Fedora Core Lists so they must be
