Hi folks, IˇŻve received the same thing here. It appears that this ˇ°originatorˇ± of the offending message has ˇ°harvestedˇ± a bunch of email addresses (rather, all email addresses) from this list, as well as number of others (including BCT) and used BCC function to send it to all members here. This indicates, from programming perspective, that the mail archiver that we are using has a security hole; in other words, a misuse of a command to retrieve email addresses from this list could mean that this guy would use the addresses that he obtains for this kind of messages (you know what I mean). Hope it is not off topic (if it was, I apologize). Cheers, Joseph ?
