good point -- hadn't quite figured on that one (though I've typically thought our e-mail list was "too small" to try casting a line into, and unfortunately for any such "phishermen", we're all piranhas, so to speak :) )

Could you check first on a couple of things:

  - is "spindel56 at comcast.net" actually a subscriber
  - how long ago did they subscribe (or were they migrated from the old list)

If not a subscriber, this increases the likelihood of an attempt, and if recent, then my hypothesis of being "too small to be noticed" is out the window...
