I agree. There ought'a be a special corollary to Godwin's Law to
cover just these types of situations. Like the Law of Meta-Spamming
or something. Just thinking out loud here.

Oh, the irony. ;)

I just got a personal email from pinky.goyal22@gmail.com:

"Sincere apologies for my error that caused automated emails to be sent to you from the address pinky@evakoss.com. I was working on a support ticket system for a client and when testing the system I didn't realize that the system would send a support ticket in response to your email I've received and responded to in the past.

I'm very sorry and will take extreme caution so this issue never occurs again."

But I've never communicated with this person in my life.

I'm really battling to imagine an entirely innocent use-case scenario for scraping mailing list archives for email addresses and names.
