Unlikely in this case:

A) You may be the only recipient, i.e. there is no large-scale relaying or
outbound exploit to third-paries *so far documented* to us here.

B) As your hosting provider, not you, has control of the smtp daemon config and
rulesets, it is they who must be concerned, lest their upstream provider kick
*them* in the anatomy.

OTOH, neither situation would excuse you from responsibility if you permitted an
expoitable web-page or formmail tool that is under your webpage-design control.

Don't be so hasty.

This is a volunteer group, we are in time zones all over the globe, and most
folks here have both a day-job and a life outside of this list.
