I know it's off topic, and I appologize, but I lurk on
this mailing list using a disposable address to avoid
spam, and now I'm receiving it as a result of being on
the list (or posting to it). I have now received three
separate Microsoft
emails (security updates and such) at this address,
which is only used for sending and receiving mail from
the list. Pretty annoying for someone who doesn't use
their products. Thankfully I can just whip up a new
address and resubscribe, but I figured I'd let you
folks know in case you're receiving the same crap.

Obviously they're not actually from Microsoft - it's more than likely a
spammer has picked your email up from one of the webarchives.
The "security updates" from "Microsoft" are always a Trojan / virus etc.
