Hi! This happened to me also! I just got a spam email just after posting and then in following days I got obnoxious spam emails in my spam filter. As the others, I think that there is some kind of bot subscribed to the list, but also perhaps a spider or crawler monitoring the R-Help archive and getting email addresses there. Nabble is a possibility too.> On 17 Apr 2018, at 21:50, Peter Langfelder <peter.langfelder at gmail.com> wrote: > > I got some spam emails after my last post to the list, and the emails > did not seem to go through r-help.
