Well, no. If you look carefully, you have managed to leak that address to the list before. On March 17, 2003, for instance (Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) you posted a reply to a question. Although you set your From address to be the "linux4michelle" address, you also ended up with the following line:

X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Unverified)

So, your MUA or MTA has leaked that address, without anyone needing to do a lookup on the Debian servers.

That is a nice approach to handling the spam problem, but as you can see, one must be very careful to prevent leaking the subscribed to address.
