Hi guys!
It appears to me that some users subscribed to the freebsd mailing lists
are pulling email addresses from message writers here and then using
those email addresses to send junk email.
This must be the case because I even killed my own login name and created a
new one only for reply messages to freebsd mailing lists and it turns out to
be the only one getting hit by spam now.
I vote to "axe" this person's access. This person doesn't seem to be using
the mailing list as a relay but pulling addresses and then sending them out
directly.

Hi there,
A quick line to offer you a free bulk email program, use it
for your company mailing list, advertising or starting your own
company newsletter. It does not matter what you use it for it's free.
"Hey, nothing Is For Free - What's The Catch"
Well the only thing you have to put up with is our name at the
foot of your email message ! And that's it ! (not much of a catch really).
If you would like a free copy (win95) simply reply to this email with the
words 'Send' as the subject ! If you are not interested and would prefer
never hear my name again then hit reply with the word 'remove' in the
subject header.
Have a nice day
