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