Here's a mystery...

I run a Linux server at home, and all the family members have their own 
accounts. Everyone except me uses it only as an Appletalk, DNS and SMTP 
server for their own machines. I have used DynDNS to give the machine a 
domain name over the cable connection, so all the accounts can directly 
receive mail. I am the only one who has been using my account in this 
way, and my wife didn't even know it was possible until yesterday.

The way she discovered her account can receive mail is that she logged 
into it by ssh for the first time ever, and there were 75 spams there.

She's never given the address out to anyone because she didn't know 
there was an address there. I've never given the address to anyone. How 
did her address (ruth at lml.homedns.org) get out?
