It just dawned on me how the BIGFOOT spam got through my mailing list
which requires CONFIRMs on subscriptions.
 
It turns out that BIGFOOT offers a _free_ E-mail address and forwarding
service to anyone, without confirmation.  Someone apparently subscribed
to a bunch o' lists and confirmed those that needed it and _then_
changed the forwarding address of the BIGFOOT address.  BIGFOOT finally
caught on and disabled the account, but not before they had accumulated
a few weeks of errors, all of which came bouncing back to me.
 
Did I miss something?
