Hi rony, yes it might be related to this list. There are two holes which one must plug as i discovered a few months ago. First, I am using a POP account with gmail and kmail has this bad habit of sending the email address as the sender ID which gets published over the internet in the linuxer's archives. Thats how bots got my ids. I wasn't aware of this fact until I investigated it thoroughly. Second, is some people's email clients ( pop or webbased or otherwise ) will quote you sometimes as "ronyb....@yahoo.c...". This is the second reason why spam bots get your email address. So check what exactly is your client sending plus check whether other peoples' clients are quoting you as "Rony" or "ronyb....@yah....".
Cheers :)
