Well, that didn't take long. The email address I used for the fP-Groups
web site Jose runs (ran? it's down ATM...) was harvested and just received
its very own first spam. The -only- two places that address exists are on
that site, and in my .procmailrc file to direct them to a specific mailbox.
I guarantee nobody got the latter, so that leaves only the former.
I -TOLD- you to masquerade the email addresses, Jose. It would have
avoided this sort of thing.
Anyone that listed their email address can probably look forward to some
fun if they whitelisted the address they use. I have an authentication
system in place and have done for years, but my rules say "allow email to
these special addresses no matter what, do not pass Go, do not collect
$200". I create specific addresses for most subscriptions. Looks like
it's time to remove one of them. *sigh*
