That's what they tell you. They might as well spider usenet or web sites
or buy a list of valid email addresses from someone or use addresses
collected in previous similar "service". This will be very hard to prove
as (with human's emails addresses) it's always possible that there is
someone who likes him. And although someone here on the list guessed
otherwise I don't think anyone will tell such as service an email address
of a mailing list. People just aren't that dumb.

As suggested before, I think it's always a good idea to rewrite email
addresses on the web not to look like [EMAIL PROTECTED], but, of course, this
won't last for very long as e.g. sf.net's "user AT host DOT tld" is quite
easy to parse to if they know what they have to look for.
