Re: [Maine-birds] Bird List Hacked

Somewhat reassuring news but using those 3 prominent users emails as cover is worrisome.

Hi all
This appears to me not to be a MaineBirds list problem as I have received nothing that meets this description. I did check my spam filter as well.

Also the the Maine Birds google groups page (link below) doesn't seem to have any in the archive.

Perhaps the spam is being sent to addresses harvested elsewhere and pretending to be from Maine Birds but the true sender address is different?
