[sdiy] WARNING: Potential Adressgrabbing at dropmix.xs4all.nl

[Florian Anwander]

Hi

Thats not the problem. But how does it come, that I am subbed to a 
appearent spammer maillist. I will ask my sysops to trace whether I 
receive spam from this list; if yes, then for me its becomes more and 
more quite evident, that xs4all has been hacked/misconfigured or - even 
worse - does sell adresses.
