Yep.
I'm quite frustrated at the number of lists I'm on that have leaked my
email address thru badly setup archives, or due to letting subscribers
setup their own archives, or due to people taking my posts (I'm honored
they think I have something worth saving, but...) and plonking them up on
the web, email address unmunged.
I used to use a separate address for each and every mailing list so that I
could track this and get the leaks fixed, but recently I've added so many
lists that I let some "share" an address (like with this list). So now I
can't always determine how my address got leaked and then go track it
down. It's to the point that I'm going to have to setup a new domain name
and migrate off this one, just to cut the spam down to a manageable level.
