Or perhaps they've found your email address in a post on one of the many
public-accessable web mirror of the mailing list?

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/42277

or

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/messagesearch?query=Seth%2C%20Wayne

for instance.

Subscribing and posting to a public mailing list leaves you open to such
situations.

Perhaps in the future you should post to public mailing list from either a
disposable email address or from an address that does not suffer from
the...restrictive oversite...that your current subscription address is
afflicted with.
