hi,

i just noticed something:

until my first post to pd-list today with my new mail @mamalala.net, i only 
got spam attempts to send to @mamalala.de ....

but an hour after my post, i start to get spam attempts to @mamalala.net !

so, in case that the list archive is misused to grab mail addresses, would it 
be possible to completely supress the "at some.domain"? probably the spammers 
know hot to make that into a real address...

another chance that i see is that someone on the list has an infected machine 
where the addresses might be harvested from (besides using it as spam 
zombie). probably the owner doesnt even know ...

in any case, there is clearly a connection between this list and getting spam 
to an address of list poster .... i can see that in my qmail logs ...

greets,

chris
