I am not thrilled to hear that. I presumed that my email address
would be relatively safe on this list, because it is open to
subscribers only. If I had known otherwise, I would have subscribed
with a disposable email address. This one is not particularly
disposable.
I doubt that a spammer would take the trouble to subscribe to a
relatively small list like this. On the other hand, a spammer could
probably figure out how to harvest email addresses from lists
archived on Google.
Is it really essential to archive the list on Google?
The other possible source of the spam in question is that a list
subscriber is infected with a trojan that broadcasts email addresses,
or spam itself. I'm not an expert, but if I have understood the
articles I have read on this topic, the internet is infested with
such things.
