Is anyone else receiving phishing/blackmail spam sent to
the email address (unique in my case) they use for
jack-devel? It seems that a list member has been
infected with malware or someone signed up just to get
access to list members' email addresses.
The messages typically include the name 'Mario Moles'
somewhere in the header or message body (location
varies). I've seen that name before in spam sent to
my jack-devel email address.

I'll say a conditional yes. I don't use a unique address for jack-devel,
so I can't say that it is specifically associated with this list, but I
have received a couple of mails like that in the last two weeks, and
typically never do.

I haven't so far. And I am using a unique address.

I haven't gotten any such emails. What you're seeing is (almost certainly)
garden-variety
email forgery. This is possible because jrigg.co.uk is not using SPF records or DKIM
signatures. Either or both of those would prevent the phishing emails from reaching
anyone.
You should add SPF and DKIM to your email server, or have your system administrator set
it
up.

The spam is being sent _to_ my email address, not
purporting to come from it.

Point taken about SPF and DKIM, but the origin of the spam
isn't what concerns me. It was the fact that the spammers
know my email address despite it only being available to
jack-devel list members.
