They may only be harvesting "known" domains. I've received quite a bit of
targeted spam relating to servers, web hosting, etc. since joining this
list. Maybe it's the yahoo.com and other domains they're looking for.
It appears from the archives that everyone is now listed as
cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and not their own email address, unless someone
is so foolish as to reply and leave their email address intact in the post
as I've seen a few times. Especially with top posted replies.
Take a look at
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2001-August/author.html I
don't see anyone's email address, except as mentioned above.
