Thanks for that clarification Larry, and thanks for all you do for U2UG! Laura Hirsh -----Original Message----- From: "Larry Hiscock" [[email protected]] Date: 04/19/2011 01:11 PM To: "'U2 Users List'" Subject: Re: [U2] Mailing List Hacked
To my knowledge, the list hasn't been hacked, nor has anyone subscribed and sent phishing attempts through the list. It is being mirrored/archived via Nabble and a couple of others, I believe, which may be the source of the email harvesting.
