I've had a complaint from a subscriber to a private list that their
email address has been spammed following subscription to a list on my
sympa server.
The email address, they say, was unique to their subscription request,
so there's nowhere the spammers could have got to it, except by either
sending spam to the list (no-one else has complained, I didn't see any,
and the archive doesn't show any) or by the spammer somehow accessing my
sympa MySQL database. Is there any experience or suggestion that such
things might have happened elsewhere? I see no evidence of it, but this
one user is adamant.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Nick
