What Javier means here is that the spammers are simply subscribed to
debian-user and other high traffic volume mailing lists. The interval from
sending to a Debian mailing list until the first spam arrived was less than
the publishing time in web.

I think that some conducted experiment like yours would put clearly the
*current* spammer techniques, not old ones like web harvesting (apart from
the fact that people seems to accept replacing @ by entities is a smart idea,
and forget that if you were a harvesting program, the second thing you will
search for would be the entity (apart from [EMAIL PROTECTED], [blank]AT[blank],
and other *smart* tricks.)
Oh, and I think that maybe you could write O:-) some report with your
results
and send it to debian-devel and/or debian-www and to the listmasters...oh and
do not forget Santiago Vila. :-D
Best regards,
Ender.
