Unfortuneately, with the way that the samba list is set up, our email addresses show up on google. So... we have all been harvested and sold. I, for one, like to hit reply and get the list address instead of just the person who I am helping. I have to retrain myself to hit "reply to all" (do you hear a violin?)

I don't see what this could possibly achieve. Most of my spam these days comes from China and South Korea.
