Ancient spambayes-dev messages popping up, maybe via spamlab.co.uk?
I received four or five spambayes-dev messages today that were dated in 2004.

Me, too.

This caught my attention as my name appears in the In-Rely-To: header and I did send a list message with that timestamp. Assuming it's legitimate, I wonder what else fell out of that mail queue from two years ago :) -- Seth Goodman

I sent another email to postmaster@spamlab.co.uk last night. Still no response from them. Skip
I sent another email to postmaster@spamlab.co.uk last night. Still no response from them. Belay that. Found a response in my errors mailbox (where all postmaster mail goes). Skip

Well, so far I've noticed 3 mails originally from me among the echoes. My first reaction was "why is someone resending _MY_ emails" until I noticed that it wasn't just me. Gotta love mail filters (both mechanical and biological) that make your own words more noticable than those of others... ;-) But I second Skip's suggestion that these are things that made it all the way through in the first place. I've been able to find the originals of them in my archives. (Why, yes, I've got 5 gigabytes of mail archives. Why do you ask?) - Alex
