Most proper mailing lists today do censor the e-mail addresses before 
distribution, but I have learned that when it comes to security and integrity, 
be very wary of anything starting with "Uganda." Remember a few weeks ago when 
I demonstrated that UTL do not authenticate outgoing SMTP traffic, thus 
probably being a hub for spam distribution?

Interestingly, I haven't experienced any rise in spam whatsoever. Shouldn't we 
all be suffering from heightened levels of spam if this mailing list were the 
culprit?
