moderated lists.
They do. Not often, but they do. I can't find the articles now,
but I have seen them in the past few months.
In addition, I'm regularly receiving spam "from" people I've
exchanged messages with on public lists. It's clearly forged, but the
spammers obviously believe that such forgery is useful.
