[GNC] Is anyone else getting these malicious e-mails?

2024-04-14 Thread Michael DeBusk
I've gotten two or three obviously-malicious e-mails pretending to be from this mailing list. The From: line lists the sender as "Gnucash User" but the address is not this one. I fear a spammer (or worse) has subscribed and is harvesting addresses. Is anyone else seeing this? -- () ascii
