RE: [cobalt-users] IMPORTANT - Email harvesting

["Adam Reynolds" <Adam.Reynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I personally did not consider that spam. That was actually useful. What
the problem there is primarily to do with the list managers not providing
enough 'avenues' for people to be able to post ANY Raq related posts.
There should be three: community, forsale and this one. 

A lot of lists have split in that way as this stops the type of flamewar
prevalent on this list which takes up unnecessary bandwidth. Then again
would Cobalt really want to support a 'forsale' list?

Anyway back to the original post: Since subscribing to this list I have
suddenly started receiving two/three spam mails each day. I am very
careful about handing out this email address and it is pretty clear the
spam started after I subscribed. 

What this indicates is that there is email harvesting going on. Just means
I've started using www.spamcop.net more than I usually do.
