It means that at least one person that processed the registrations
was using a windows system that is now infected. That stupid
blaster virus then sent email with a forged From line as if it was
sent from you, then the spammers picked up that never released email
address and added it to their spam list.
Makes me wonder if the virus was build by someone wanting to find
a lot of valid email addresses that were not otherwise available.

current policy for releasing such email addresses.
Just offering a datum, not making any concrete suggestions.
