Actually no, the address I've used the last 2 months on the list (and on
the Internet as a whole) didn't get anything. However nothing came to my
current one (which I had previously but only used on mailinglists and
private mail).

The problem is that anyone can do a "who" on majordomo. I know Michael
removed this possibility earlier on (two years ago or so) when I suggested
it. Of course a spammer can subscribe to the list, but that will get more
mail as opposed to just getting everyones (including those who never write).

Nope, I think I'm closing on ten mail in five years however.
