Yep, this is the likeliest of all sources. I haven't given out this email address to anybody except a few trusted friends and ofcourse this mailing list.

Posting on this mailing list itself means you're giving away your email to 1000+ people. Strangely, why dont I get such invitations? :)

May be spamassasin is doing a great job. I know that I am giving away my email to 1000+ people but I dont think they would sign me up for SPAM lists :| If there are such people then you better weed them out!
I don't think the spam is coming from this server. If it is why are others not getting it.

How and why should I weed anybody out? If you use your email address at public places then you're most likely to get spammed.

Am clueless how i'm supporting ``them''. What if the person spammed you through an email address which isn't registered with this list?

to put this discussion in context - 6 months or so back, i was subscribed without asking to some googlegroup. I asked on delhi and mumbai lists if anyone else had the problem, and lots of mumbai ppl had had the problem - so i reported to google abuse, and others also did so. So this time i again asked the list about it. From the response, it is clear that this time that the source was not a scraping of addresses from this list. And even if it was, i fail to see what the admin can do about it. So lets drop this. I only asked to see if what i got was spam or not.

How can you ask to weed spammers from a public list. Make this list a private :d Joking !! Instead configure mailing list software to show up email address in the form of user at somedomain dot com or simply hide the email id's completely.

i just looked at the archives of the list - all 'from' addresses are someone@antispam.org - so no one can scrape addresses from the archives - good thing

A little late reply, but this discussion took place a long time ago and the mailman configuration was changed so that the addresses are not easily harvestable by bots.

And ur trusted friends are using the one "Trusted Computing" OS? Most likely harvested from their pc.
