I've recently gotten a small amount of spam to the address I use for
this list. I only use that address for this list, so it shouldn't be
available elsewhere. The archives at Drupal.org hide the domain name in
email addresses, so it's not available there.
One possibility is that someone has subscribed to this list specifically
for the purpose of harvesting email. Another is that someone
(inadvertently, I'm sure) has put some of the posts here in a public
place, without hiding the email addresses. Yet another is that someone
subscribed to the list has been infected by a virus whose purpose is to
harvest email addresses and/or send spam.
It's easy enough for me to generate a new address, but first I'd like to
know whether anyone else has seen this or knows what's going on.
Many thanks,
Gary
