Did you look at the spam item above? It is a *spam* that was sent to a 
reporting address. The real name in quotes next to the address is not 
the one I use as my friendly name on SC.

It implies that somehow the spammer got a reporting address, possibly 
through a report that SC sends out. Given Ellen's response, it appears 
that Don already knew about this problem.

This is not addressed in any FAQs that I could see.

In the future, is it best to let SC send the reports to SC admin? The 
admin should see it's a question of a spam (not a legit response to a 
reporting address), and probably track down the "leaky" address that 
received the report with that ID.
