Kostas, Looks to me like a web crawler of some kind "harvested" that address and sent you automatic mail. List HQ would not send you or forward any such note. Unfortunately for all of us the amount of spam mail and abuse of mail through deceptive and misleading practices has increased tremendously lately. I am receiving mail that looks like it came from me (!) and wherein I am offered all kinds of "opportunities" to better myself, etc. The list itself is somewhat protected at least for now - although you may receive abusive mail that bears the list's address or that of any of us that use email. andy
