The parish mailing list address (now defunct until further notice by order of the priest) just received its first two hits of spam, a mere six weeks after being publicly displayed on someone’s website. I’m surprised it took so long. Perhaps if the website in question saw more traffic, it would have been quickly inundated with the mangy hordes. It will be interesting to see how quickly it gets disseminated to the rest of spamdom and how fast my volume on that address rises.

So, now the question: When Fr. D. and the parish council are finally convinced that technology is not inherently “dangerous,” do I use the same address? Or do I use a new and different address, with the potential confusion and usability errors inherent in that solution?

I’m leaning towards a new address, with strict instructions not to post it on websites because of the spam factor.
