Don't blame the list member. It is probably not even his account that has
been hacked, but somewhere else where his email appears. There have been a
spate of these purporting to be from Yahoo, Gmail, AOL and now MSN users and
several times it has been stated that it is the servers of *these*
organisations that are being hacked in order to obtain vast numbers of valid
email addresses, rather than the few that would be obtained from hacking
personal computers. That being correct, one of the answers is not to use
the mail providers server to send and receive mail using a browser but use a
PC client, delete any server list of contacts, and more importantly to make
sure the server isn't building a list of contacts automatically based on who
you send mail to even when you *do* use a PC client. AOL at least does this
by default, you have to log in to the server, find the switch and turn it
off.
