Matt If I wanted to collect the listees addresses all I need to do is subscribe to the list, add the senders address to a spam folder as each posted, and voila. If I was clever I could set up a little program to do it automatically.

Spam is everywhere, possibly even coming from your computer via an implanted "bot". The best protection is to re-subcribe when necessary with a "fresh" yahoo or gmail address.
