Junk mail?

Hi All,

I've just recently received a few spam messages at my work address which to
my knowledge is only known by the IBIS and SI-LIST reflectors. I am
concerned over the list's security. Can 3rd parties harvest our email
addresses or post messages to the list without being members?

I've received four or five messages over the last week, some which appear to
be "sonar pings."

The latest two spam messages that I received had subject:

        Your Reg #AD6 - received 6/18
        Snow White - received 6/21

The Snow White (is supposedly a virus) definitely came from ibis@eda.org but
the first one could have come from elsewhere.

If others on the list are receiving these besides me we should act quickly
to plug the leak before we get the to state where 50% of email per day is
spam (trust me, it happens quickly!).
