Well, not too bad I guess. "recipients classiccmp" only works if you are
the list owner. I suppose I could mess with the From: field to get
around that...
Then again, after posting my work email address on the list unencoded
I received a junk email. I never get junk email at that address. I haven't
posted to usenet using that account for years. Someone is looking at the
classiccmp list and getting email addresses.
Thanks to all of those who responded to my question.
