David,
You might want to check to make sure your domain is not in the ORBS
database, since your server was not secured against relaying.
<http://www.orbs.org>.
Also, since you're so sensitive to spam, you may want to resubscribe to
this list with a new address.
Cheers!
Dan

It's only a fact of life if people aren't prepared to do anything about it.
This
is just like Interia Selling. No one wants the stuff but because they never
get
around to doing anything about it it just keeps on coming.

I'm not wrong - I have only used this particular address to subscribe to
Win-Mac. It may well be that the reason you haven't seen an upsurge in SPAM
to
your address is that it's already known to spammers.
Perhaps I'm extra senstive to SPAM at the moment because about 5 weeks ago
someone started sending out SPAM with a forged return address within our
domain.
Having to deal with 600 bounced messages and requests from the spammers
victims
to unsubscribe from the list (as if I could do anything about it!) in the
sapce
of about 3 weeks has made me just the teensiest bit more militant about the
whole thing! Perhaps you might have a different view at the end of that too!
I see that thanks are due to Darryl for implementing a solution to this
problem.
Lets hope that fixes it once and for all.
Regards
