I think JC's explanation is likely. I have two public lists on the same server, the smaller list is actually older, but only the larger list gets spammed. In many cases the spam is sent to both the list address and the list-bounces address. Thus it seems likely that these addresses are harvested via spyware of some kind from a list recipient. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
