Thanks very much for the explanation, it was a puzzle. I know someone
else who got signed up to lists that way, it was a horror. Took him
weeks to get it all straightened out. What a mess.
I'm really sorry it happened to you.

That was my fault. Someone used my email to sign up for mailing lists,
sites, etc. I got emails asking for email verification or just informing me
that "I" had joined roughly 4,000 lists in a couple of hours and it was
continuing. Used an email rule to respond with a "Not Me" notice and delete
the emails BUT I inadvertently applied the rule to existing emails instead
of only new ones coming in. that means even lists I want to be on got
notices... Dman.
Sorry for the noise.
Jim

I got the same type of emails delivered to my personal email address, both
from Jim McConnell. Sure sounds like the mailing membership has been hacked
somehow. Could this part of the ddos attacks on the forum that have been
mentioned recently?

I'm not sure what this means but it probably deserves a heads-up. I
received three emails today that appeared to be replies to the three
list posts I made yesterday. They were all from the same person, whose
name I do not recognize. The entire text of the message was:
This registration used a hijacked email address!
followed by a quoted copy of my post. There was no other text.
When I first saw these on my Android tablet they each included an
enclosure of different lengths. That was the tip-off to check the
headers, since this list does not allow enclosures. The headers of a
real list mail include "on-rev.com", these had no mention of the
on-rev domain. They all came from a private user domain via Quest.
I then retrieved the email on my Mac and there are no enclosures
listed for any of the three. I'm not sure where they went, I didn't open
them.
They may have been copies of the quoted posts but I'm not sure.
At any rate, something odd is going on so keep an eye out.
