Mailing list spam question

Hi, I originally signed up for this list with my real email address, after having read somewhere on the wxpython users site that real email addresses don't appear anywhere in public. Normally I use sneakemail as an anonymizer.

However I *think* that after doing that a few months ago, I started getting a LOT more spam to my "real" email address.

Is it possible for a spam bot to get real email addresses from posting to wx-users mailing list or having a subscription?

thanks
Michael

Is your email address sonic@coherentminds.com?

That answers your question: If it is, then yes. If it isn't, then it
appears not.

Changing email addresses because of spam is kind of silly. Eventually, you'll get spam to any email address. Put in spam controls ala spam assassin, amavisd, clamav, postgrey, and policyd-spf on your server, and junk filters on your client side.
