I would like to add that I have evidently been a victim of "penet spoofing" as well, since I too received the following message from penet:
I have another theory: If an anXXX@anon.penet.fi address subscribes to the mailing list, then everybody who sends mail to the list will be given an anon alias. (Now to wait and see whether I get allocated an anon id from anon.penet.fi in response to this message.) I still say that double-blinding should not be the default action of servers like that at anon.penet.fi. Double blinding is sometimes useful, but one should have to request it explicitly. --apb (Alan Barrett)
