Got an interesting spam this evening, not to me actually but to a
list that runs on my LISTSERV (which got to me because I'm the
LISTSERV owner). After writing the person back, she confirmed my
suspicion that she was using the PAML as the source of list owners.
Her service is a mailing list archiving site.
I gave her a list of alternative methods for promoting a site.
She said she was new to all this but also gave the usual spammer
excuses, how she was getting a great response to her mailings and
to "just hit delete." I didn't get the impression I had persuaded
stop, as if the list owners in the PAML don't get spammed enough
(which is why I've been removing personal email addresses from the
listings, sigh).
So I suppose this is a heads-up. The site in question is:
www.listquest.com
