Do you mean the spam was from php-general@lists.php.net ?
Or do you mean that you know for sure that your address was harvested
from this list?
I've not noticed getting any extra spam since joining, personally.
Don't forget that:
a) Emails you send to this list may be forwarded elsewhere, with your
address included
b) The email address you use for this list may have been 'brute-forced'
c) Some malicious oik may have posted your address somewhere else world-readable
d) You might have accidentally posted it someplace else (eg register
for access to our forums, we promise not to use it for blah blah blah,
please tick a box, etc, etc).
