Various "hi-jackings" occur innocently enough:
1) new list (at another host or MLM) is created using
the same name as yours
2) wild-card file structures in the filelist misdirects
placement or retrieval of file
3) mail alias is created that (partially) duplicates your
list e.g., [log in to unmask] vs. [log in to unmask]
(the former is a list, the latter was a mailbox unrelated)
Be glad that you aren't the InterNIC.
