I don't know how they do it, but I know that e-mail accounts get hijacked all the
time. If you ever see a suspicious posting like that make sure you never, never, never,
click on the link in the e-mail. Not only will you be disgusted, but you might get your
own computer infected and you'll be the next one having your e-mail account
automatically sending the same message on to everyone in your own address book!
The only way to stop it from spreading to a mailing list like ours is to appoint a
monitor. The monitor will have to approve every single posting to make sure it's
appropriate before allowing it to go to the entire list. When the monitor goes on
vacation or is not available, nothing gets posted until he or she returns to approve
them.
I am the monitor for an amateur radio list. In the last couple of months several people,
who I know personally, have had their e-mail accounts hijacked. I know none of them would
ever send something inappropriate or not related to amateur radio to our list, but it
happens anyway without their knowledge.
Don't blame the sender of the e-mail. Don't blame the list. It's just the
sick world we live in.
