OTHER than a unsecured fingerd, how else might spammers be harvest email
addresses?  Every so often Ill end up with spam in an account created for
some specific purpose, which never sends email, and which is a nonsense
made up userid (thus hard to think of as being spammed on a lucky guess)

There must be something Im overlooking.
