I began receiving spam at my "slim only" account a few weeks ago. They all have similarly formated subject lines.
Re: [x] (where x seems to be any random number)
It was easy enough to filter them out and I just look through them every couple of days to make sure I didn't miss any legit off list emails. I'd say I get a steady 1-2 a day now, but I can see it quickly becoming a bigger issue if the addresses are shared by who ever harvested them or if they continue to be harvested by new spammers.

Guess what, I've started receiving spam to it. Looking at the archives I see that some attempt is made to conceal the email address by using "email.address at domain.com" but most address harvesters get round that very easily.
Yes I know it could be a dictionary attack but I use a similar form email address with other common domain names with other lists and these have yet to receive any spam.
Is there any need to show the whole address? Can the web based archives be adjusted to stop this please.
thanks
