I got the following message in my inbox. Its not spam per-se, but
something I probably do want to filter.

Much more interestingly, I also got about 20 messages of idiots
replying to it (not the reply-to, but to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so
I got it) either bitching or shouting out "remove", including at least
one person at acm.org.

Anyone know if yahoo allows arbitrary membership in new lists, and
someone used that as a backdoor?
