Actually you used the address yesterday on this same mailing list, and that is probably where the spam (or viruses) came from. now, when you go to http://groups.google.com/ and search for your new email address, you will notice that these lists are broadcast to usenet and google archives, both places where spammers gather addressess. > i would be very pleased to have a solution for this because i want to read > this lists but i do not want to changen my complete email setup 3 times a There is not much one can do to hide your address when sending mail to debian lists, or any other popular list. There are lots of packages in debian that can help filtering spam, most popular ones being spamassassin and bogofilter. If you control you mailserver, you might want to configure sa-exim or a respectable blacklist, like dsbl.org. -- Riku Voipio | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | kirkkonummentie 33 | +358 40 8476974 --+-- 02140 Espoo | | dark> A bad analogy is like leaky screwdriver |
