Yes. The spam was sent From: "Jeffrey Lyon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (probably spoofed) and To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then resent by Mailman to the actual owner/moderator addresses. This is exactly what Mailman is supposed to do with mail sent to the -owner address. If the question is "why was spam sent to pptc-announce-owner" or "how did spammers get the pptc-announce-owner address", the address is in a mailto: link at the bottom of <http://www.bikelist.org/mailman/listinfo/pptc-announce>. There are probably other ways that it can be found or guessed. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
