	It appears, based on some spew I got this morning (complaints have been
dispatched) that a spamming parasite mined the port-VAX mailing list for
addresses.

	If this is indeed what happened, it would have to have been a deliberate
effort, perhaps a 'revenge' spam of some sort.

	Is the list server capable of returning an entire list of user addresses?
If so, why? Perhaps it would be wise to shut down this feature.
