My fault or just Spam

Damn this new fangled technology! If only this mailing list was backwards
compatible with the USPS. :)

This is what I was wondering, if somehow my email address had just been
snarfed from this list or if some poor soul on the list was infected with
such a virus.

Yeah, it's a real shame and trying to get people out of their comfort zone
to try something else seems to be nigh impossible :). But at least I feel
better about what I've configured so far... it's now time for me to learn
more about stopping spam at my server. I believe there was a thread about
this not too long ago. Off I go.
