Re: Warning! Spam to PHP mailing list

Yes, probably... the emails from this list are also on the PHP newgroup. Also, you're email address will be posted in archives of this list, and possibly auto-appear in address books of many subscribers -- these address books then become the target of virus spam. My advice is to create an email address only for this list, and auto-delete anything that doesn't have [PHP] in the subject. The same problem exists for posting your email address in any public way.
