[MinnowBoard] Do we have a spammer on the mailing list?

[John Hawley]

I've got a copy of the e-mail from Thomas, digging through it (and the
mailing list) there's no one from the company on the mailing list, and
nothing that jumps out at me as obviously linked.  It's possible they
are just screen scraping the archives and sending the e-mails, but not
seeing a way to obfuscate the e-mails more than what we have right now
(I'll dig into that)

If people keep getting these, can you let me know off list so I can try
and keep track of it?
