AFAIK, only *one* message was traced, and that single message was sent to 
Søren, and not even to you.

Secondly, several people with computers infected by viruses might have 
address books containing Duckhunters' addresses.  One reason to this is that 
some viruses not only send themselves to other peoples' computers, but also 
copy the sender's address book.  Thus, your and other peoples' e-mail 
addresses may have been sent to several people that you don't know.

Third, Per reported that the computer identified as infected *never* has 
visited the subscription page for the DCML list.  It seems unlikely that the 
"WEB-thief," as you refer to him or her, never would have heard of DCML nor 
visited the subscription page if he or she has managed to find your and the 
other peoples' web pages.

Fourth, there are several *million* of people living in Greece, so the 
so-called "WEB-thief" is not the only one in his or her country.
