See my earlier response to this thread. I'm using these lists because of the volume of email they generate to test some code that will be released as open source software. Yes, it's unusual but it's effective. > 2. Why is this person/business sending multiple subscription > requests under multiple suspicious email account names, including an > s...@*** name? I've only used one address, which is s...@aberro.co.uk. I should have probably chosen something that wasn't going to raise flags, but I'm obviously not going to use my main mailbox because I don't want it to be overwhelmed! This is a temporary address that I'm only using for testing purposes. > 3.

Please accept my apologies for the concern concern. I've explained the situation in the thread earlier. Clearly, as no spam is (or ever will) originate from me, there should be no cause for concern; spamming is not my business or interest. > > The obvious conclusion is that he/she/it is a spammer.

I'm really not sure what the great cause for irritation is; apparently I've rubbed six people the wrong way. Regards, Matthew (a human being, not a bot) :) > > Craig A.
