Someone harvested the archives of this mailinglist for email addresses,
and is sending various forms of these "Nigerian 419 scam" emails.  I use
netfilter@newkirk.us for ONLY this mailinglist and associated
conversations, and I get about one of these every 2-3 weeks now at that
address.  

They're mailing direct to the email addresses found in the archive.  I
forward them to the Secret Service, who collect these in the US.

My latest was two days ago:
