I have been fortunate to NOT have received any of this (yet).  However, I
have also heard numerous complaints of this.  At the same time, over the
past couple of weeks, I have heard numerous complaints from people about
receiving mail from lists to which they never subscribed.  I myself have
been a victim of this latter problem.  One day, out of the blue, I
suddenly started receiving mail from a list I never joined.  (I know
exactly which lists I joined.)  I REViewed the list, and sure enough, I
had "miraculously" become a subscriber somehow!  Are these problems
perhaps being caused by some errant LISTSERV LISTDB backbone site
munging things up somehow?
