Hello
I just received a message delivering a worm, sent to the address that I
use for this list only. It said: 'Are you a spammer? (I found your email
on a spammer website!?!)', and the attachment was a ZIP file, containing
a file called 'details.txt'.
If you get the same message, don't open it. I almost did... :)
Seems that there are some guys letting their bot go through the archives,
picking up the obscured email addresses (like 'evolt at muinar.com' for
example) - ? The sheer amount of addresses might justify the procedure
of replacing all ' at ' by '@' and getting valid email addresses in return.
Adding to that, this seems to be a standard way of obscuring addresses
in Mailman list archives...
