The newest, recent release version of LISTSERV. It was announced on LSTSRV-L
<http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0412&L=lstsrv-l&T=0&F=&S=&P=891>
and on L-Soft's Website: http://www.lsoft.com/products/listserv_143.asp

You would receive more new and interesting spam at that email address. Of
course if you have always had the same address for a long time, then you may
not notice this increase among all the spam you already get. But it does
happen.
>and why would the list be affected?
The list itself probably would not. But the email addresses of many list
members harvested would also receive more new and interesting spam.
