You may have noticed a deluge of mailing list subscriptions from
sensible.na...@apotmail.com -- these are definitely not real people; in all
likelihood, the operator's goal is e-mail address harvesting, or worse.
 Perhaps it would save some of you time to be aware of this and reject these
subscribers (on our subscription-by-approval lists, that is) point blank.

Cheers,

  Asaf
