I have sent a message to all 2123 members of vim_use who are set
to receive email, and have not received a spam response from
ad...@139.com (I was hoping to get such a response, which would
have allowed me to identify the subscribed address responsible).
The messages were sent 60 at a time by pasting addresses into
BCC. The header would therefore be very different from that of a
message from vim_use, and that may account for why I did not get
a response.
I will discuss whether anything more can be done with Bram.

I received that spam mail ONCE. Gmail seems to cope with spam better than yahoo
or aol (as the large providers) and it would seem that problems could lie with
folk who've set up their own email servers.
With aol (i only use it as a spare email and only have it for AIM) i did have a
problem with a certain email virus that sent emails to each listed in the
addressbook. Now i use Alpine and have deleted ALL addressbook entries on the
server i've had no more problems.
Perhaps someone more IT email knowledgeable can advise how this spam email is
working and thus we can resolve the issue. For it seems to have gone.
