Re: Owner

The problem is NOT the list, but the services like marc that archive the lists activities... this means your email address sits there in plain view on MANY web pages for bots to find. Best advice is to post strictly to the newsgroup with a dud email address, or use a specific email address for your activities on the PHP list, and filter out anything to that address which doesn't have [PHP] in the subject line, which is what I plan to do soon. Using 'nospam' in your address' prolly doesn't help as much as it used to, because it's common practice these days, hence spiders probably attempt to parse it out. Your spam may be originating from somewhere entirely different from the PHP list... if your address is on ANY web page accessed via GET (URL, not POST), it's within reach of the spiders... Fun huh?
