I've been getting spam and Nigerian scam letters recently too.
Some have forged headers made to look like they are coming from the T13 server. Obviously, someone has harvested the email addresses from some place.
I think maybe it is time that we just don't publish email addresses anymore in a manner that is easily machine harvested.

The T13 minutes has my old PTEC email address. I changed to this address about 2 months ago. In fact, when I initially left PTEC in Dec 2002 I used my old personal email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) which got spammed out and I dumped it for this one. So it has to be someone recently got the list somehow from the reflector. Does WDC or PTEC have the reflector? I remember it used to be WDC but I think PTEC picked it up a couple years ago.

This message is from the T13 list server.
Could it be that all our meeting minutes have attendee email addresses,plus lifting the senders address from reflected emails is where the list comes from? Who out there did not see two recent "Nigerian-like" scams apparently from the reflector? MKE.ESMTP id h7G3wQu14202

Coming direct, who sold the list? Or who has the lame firewall which allowed all of our address to be lifted?
