LTspice E-mail Address List Hacked?

I don't know if the LTspice List has been hacked but I'm suddenly
barraged with spam, like ~100 E-mails per day... sent to an address I
use only for LTspice.  So I changed my address.  (Easy for me, I
maintain ~200 different E-mail addresses just to cope with such
situations :-)

(All junk sent from googlegroups... just what you'd expect :-)

I love to cook with wine.     Sometimes I even put it in the food.

If you are referring to the Yahoo Group I subscribe and have not
noticed a change in the 'net noise level...

I had _zero_ noise level, because I used that address only for
LTspice, then boom... the barrage hit... mostly in Chinese characters.

So I changed the address and I'm back to zero noise.
