Sigh.  Can you explain what's going on here?  I believe there a still
problems with mailman (this time on gnu.org)...

Hi,

when the groff list was hosted by ffii.org it received a lot of
spam. It's much better now when it's hosted by gnu.org, thanks.

But apparently the spam problem does not end here. When I subscribed
to the groff list I created and used an email address that I have not
given to anyone else. I am completely certain that I only ever gave
this address to the ffii.org mailing list software. This address has
now received its first spam not directed to the groff list. I can send
you a copy of the spam if you wish.

So it seems to me that someone has sold my one-use email address to a
spammer. I just thought you might like to know.

Regards,
