Technically, they weren't sent by iinet; iiNet just forwarded them
through their servers.

Interestingly, the sircam virus extracts email addresses from webpages
in the user's cache, so I would suspect that your email alias is
available somewhere on the web -- perhaps in an archive of a mailing
list like this one).

I would do a quick web search and check to see if it appears anywhere
that has been indexed.

Erm.. if you're not happy with an ISP, just change to a new one.
If you didn't like the way a mechanic serviced your car or you
received bad service at a shop, you certainly wouldn't go back
to the same place next time.

Check out http://www.cynosure.com.au/isp/ and find yourself a
new ISP that you'll be happier with.  Then maybe we can all get
back to arguing over whether Debian is better than Redhat  :)
