[klug] KLUG list as Spam bait

Wed Apr 12 22:35:47 NZST 2006

I think so (coming directly to me) as the messages going through KLUG 
are usually tagged with a [klug] in subject.

Somehow, someone has harvested my email address, the one I gave KLUG 
(and no one else) and they are pretty vicious at spamming it on regular 
basis.

I notice that the signup page reads "This is a hidden list, which means 
that the list of members is available only to the list administrator." I 
have resubscribed under a new email address and when I recieve 
confirmation, I will delete the older one I have been using.

I'll let you know if the new one gets harvested.
