I'm seeing the same thing here whenever I post to the list. I logged
about 1000 hits to my nameserver in about an hour, and went slightly
into "curious" mode because I never get that kind of traffic on my small
home LAN. I wondered at first if it was some sort of stealth attack
because the queries seemed to be coming from all over the world - until
I realized that it was just other list members' spam filters, probably
scanning the Recieved: lines or some such.
I guess it's just one of those interesting things about the internet...
