GL: Houston we have a problem!

[Rob Dorsey]

List Admin and All,

Most of us are familiar with the bogus Nigerian money email scams usually
caught by our spam filters. Well, to send that email the perp needs to
acquire one's email address. I received this one on my
skipper at bestrevenge.us address (SEE BELOW - DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS
IN THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE BELOW!!!) which is used ONLY on this and the Trawler
lists. That  means that either someone has sold/given the address to a
scammer or their computer has been compromised and email addresses captured.
But there is a third possibility, one more sinister and problematical. The
server where this list is administrated may have been hacked and the email
addresses of all on this and other lists captured. As far as I can tell this
and the Trawler list use MailMan 2.1.1 which is the same one I use. The
MailMan software pretty much depends on the security of the server on which
it is installed for protection.

Spam from the list is bad juju. Admin - any ideas???
