that the address was picked up by a random email address scraping of
web data.
I've wondered if some unscrupulous person has subscribed to the list so
that they can receive a steady stream of email addresses that they can
potentially send spam / phishing emails to.
I don't remember ever getting one of these types of messages. So I
can't comment about them with anything other than 2nd (or more) hand
knowledge. Though I run fairly tight anti-spam / anti-virus
configuration on my server.
I would actually be interested in seeing full messages source, including
headers, for some of the messages. (If anyone is willing and interested
in sharing.)
