My spam folder (on my ISPs server) contains a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject "daughters sexual exploits". Is this a message from mozilla.org? If not, how does that work that it has been less than a week and my email address has been snagged from the list or yours from my inbox. I don't have this in my address book. Come to think of it, I don't have anything from the list in my inbox.
I see it too, but it isn't email: it's a message posted to the netscape.public.mozilla.editor newsgroup. If you are subscribed to the group, you will get the message. Newsgroups are similar to mailing lists, but unlike mailing lists are not moderated.
Unfortunately, I don't know a good way to prevent this. For regular email, I use a Bayesian spam filter, but newsgroups don't work the same way. Newsgroups are public access, and there is no good way to prevent folks from posting garbage like that.
There is also no good way to delete it, because by default, the actual message is stored on a server, and in newsgroups, you can only cancel messages you posted.
Mozilla Mail & News does have junk filters you can theoretically use to prevent display of such things. I'm still figuring out how those work.
