Mark, up until just the last couple of days, I never got span to my list
email, which is a separate address from my "normal" email. As such, I have
NEVER used this email address outside of the list, so the only way I can see
that the spammers and phishers have gotten it is (a) someone hacked into the
list and got our addresses, or (b) someone who has replied to our emails
directly, and hence has the address on his/her computer, got hacked or
infected with a spyware/adware program and got the addresses hijacked. The
Outlook/Outlook Express tools are pretty worthless. If you look at the from
lines, you'll see that they are ever changing, as are their domains, and
they substitute letters, spaces and punctuation into the subjects to
circumvent the rules.
