You may have noticed a deluge of mailing list subscriptions from<br>
<a href="mailto:sensible.names@apotmail.com">sensible.names@apotmail.com</a> -- these are definitely not real people; in all<br>
likelihood, the operator's goal is e-mail address harvesting, or worse.<br>
Perhaps it would save some of you time to be aware of this and reject these<br>
subscribers (on our subscription-by-approval lists, that is) point blank.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
