A few weeks ago it was mentioned here that this list gets mirrored on
Usenet or some other newsgroup list. Now we know that that is a serious
mother lode for address mining. I avoid all newsgroups like a plaque
because of this. I haven't looked, but is there any protection in place?
Two thing came up in this discussion so far:
1. There are an increase in SPAM to Piclisters, which I have noticed as
well.
2. Spams come from places such as " .RU, .CN or unresolvable IP
addresses somewhere in RIPE or APNIC address space
(Europe or Asia)." (to quote Dale). I noticed that as well.

So how about that newsgroup thing? I realy don't trust it.

Q..
