Yes, I've had my address spammed as well. I believe the list software
removes email addresses, but I've noticed some people fail to remove it
from their replies on-list. At that point, it gets archived and later
harvested.
As you probably already know, a good practice is using a special email
alias only used for the list. That way you can just re-subscribe as a
different user and block email to the old user.
