Heh.

Speaking of SPAM, and this best.* leak, earlier today (yesterday, really),
I received a lengthy email from an mmf-bot, at the Marshal Space Flight
Center.

Seems it was responding to an mmf email that I'd posted to the best.spam
newsgroup ... :-) ...!

Fortunately, there was a "complaint" address in the bot's message, to
which I replied, explaining the situation WRT the best.* hierarchy leaking,
and asking them to locally rmgroup it from their servers.  Haven't heard
back from them on it though ...

FWIW, here are the headers from my posting to best.spam, as was received
at msfc.nasa.gov:
