Subject: Address harvester???

I've had a subscriber on the Megaco list for at least half a year, whose account 
sends automatic acknowledgements to list E-mail back to the megaco-bounces 
address.  The address in itself looks odd: [email-masked].  My direct 
query as to whether they knew what they were doing went unanswered.

I put them on moderate a while back on suspicion that they might be spammers, but 
they have never sent anything out from that address.  Someone else pointed out 
that they might actually be harvesting live addresses from list traffic.  If so, 
this would seem to demonstrate very sophisticated understanding and use of the 
IETF list server features.

How many other lists have this subscriber?
