The amanda mailing lists are, to the best of my knowledge, archived and
available on the web.  So basically if you can parse email addresses out
of HTML documents on the web then it's easy to get spam once you post to
an archived mailing list.  It comes with the territory.

The U.S. military should be able to deal with the realities of spam.  I
can't see that they can just turn their backs and pretend that their
users are not going to get spammed at some point, especially if they're
using public Internet email addresses.
