This may also be related to the incident of last week where someone (possibly
a netcom user last I heard) forged subscriptions of several hundred Majordomo
lists "from" Steve Case, myself, our Webmaster, TOS Advisor, Bill Gates and
well over a dozen others at various other sites.
 
Since "SteveCase" and "Webmaster" would not have any need to subscribe to
LISTSERV lists, serving those addresses off from your servers as a
precautionary measure is probably not a bad idea.
 
If you do manage to determine who's responsible for this irresponsible
behavior, I'm sure our legal department would love to know who it is as well.
