If somebody's already mentioned this, then sorry I missed it!
In any case, this message got caught by my spam filter, and yeah, it seems
like somebody getting the list's email addresses and using them for spam.
(At least I'm assuming some/many of you got htis email as well..)

Just thought I should mention it. I don't know if there's anything we can
do since we're not the ones actually doing the archiving, assuming they got
the addresses from that one place you guys are using for list archives? If
there's another way they could've gotten it, dunno.
In any case! What svlug always suggests is munging addresses on the archive
pages, if the option is available to you guys you might want to take it.
(OTOH, I've gotten recruiters contacting me from my posts before which was
interesting, too bad I'm not looking for a new job. Still, that might be
considered spam, and more bad than good.)

vox-tech email addy got harvested, hence I'm posting there..)
