You email address IS public now, SA list is mirrored on several web servers. Email harvesters will find it. Also, (not sure what list) but the 'backdoor' email address we use to send copies of this list (and others) to our internal public folders was also spammed. We never used that to post, so they must have gotten it from one of the lists web pages. Ps, I trust SpamAssassin so much, that long ago I stopped munging my email address. Have had same email address since 2001. SA has helped block sometimes 2000 spams a day just to me. (seriously, remember, I don't munge my email address). (thanks Theo and the whole SA team. You probably saved me jail time if out of frustration I would have tracked down and killed some spammer. I am in Boca Raton, spam capitol of the world ;-) -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >|SECNAP Network Security Winner 2008 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBSD SpamAssassin Ports maintainer Charter member, ICSA labs anti-spam consortium _________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(tm).
