Re: *** ADMIN: Spamming

Scott,

I also noticed that, and thought that it could be the reason for the hit 
in Google.

What I do find strange, though, is that there's only one single hit, 
whereas I have posted more than that.

Google ignores punctuation in your searches.  So, if you remove everything 

but letters from your e-mail address, does each word of the address exist 
in the message?

I took a look at the message that Google points to, and it contains the 
following line:
Sent by: code400-l-bounces+peter.colpaert=massive.be@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Although that's not technically your e-mail address, it's got the same 
words in it, therefore Google would consider it a match.

Furthermore, the fact that it exists in the e-mail message means that 
someone who knows how midrange.com works would be able to derive your 
e-mail address from the message.

David, is it possible to make sure those "Sent by:" lines don't exist in 
the archives?
