I have also received a similar unsolicited mail. I would like to know 
who has authorized
the aggregation and usage of email address from "previous lists and 
events in which
people participated". I think every event has a privacy policy and 
e-mail address provided
are only to be used for communicating about the specific event and not 
for aggregating for
future use.
