[C38] spam on the C38 listserve?

This is the list server responding to a mail sent to "unscribe".  A spam
bot has acquired the list address from somewhere, and sent a "Euro
Lottery" message to 
everyone on the list, as well as the unscribe address, to which the
thoughtful people at sailnet respond by emailing the list to verify that
this is a real unscribe message.  
    
    Praise Sailnet.  Not all list providers have this thoughtful
screening process.  I have been unsubscribed from lists in the past,
which I did not want to be unsubscribed.  Sailnet does this job very
well.
