Kim, if you want to discuss this further with Dan, take it off list, but I suggest you let it drop. I don't see where either of you would gain a thing from further "discussion". 

The server WAS NOT hacked, someone simply signed themselves up for the list "legally" and sent the phishing message through the list. There's nothing that can be done to prevent this except close the list down for new members until they are manually confirmed. If this gets to be a regular problem, more than once every month or two, I'll do just that. This is just a new method for some scammers to send out to new addresses. The spammer has been banned from the list.

You also would have realized that I suggested that someone's address book which contained the list membership ID's or the server ID list may very well have been the culprit.  The main point of the email is that somehow, someone has gained access to the list of AMC-list IDs.  I also did a properties review of the hot link in the email I received and it was clearly a live link.
