I don't know how to comment on that really; not a good start to an
email.. But there are many other lists around you know. This one has
it's qualities and sometimes people kind of abuse it; we just have to
accept that spoofed spam.. And be more intelligent with email, sign you
emails with a key; maybe even encrypt them! (fsck just realised that
doesn't quite work with a moderated list.. SPF.. Makes no difference,
many x.y.zcom webmail accounts with SPF or any other form of domain
verification. But it does limit the DSL "Zombie" IRC-Bot machines.
(Unless they relay.. Odd though apart from the obvious
Outlook/IE/??Thunderbird??/??Firefox?? Mail sending via exploit routes;
generally the SMTP part of the bot will do direct comms with the
destination(am I wrong on this?? how wrong??)))
