Hi

I work with Monty, although I've been on vacation for these past days so wasn't involved.

If you got email from Monty personally, then most likely you have had some email discussion with him in the past why he would have your email. (Such as, on MySQL mailing lists.) We are of course still quite close with many of our friends and former collagues still at Sun, but no, we wouldn't have access to the MySQL.com email database.

This is simply not true. I received two copies of the 'helpmysql' email, and I've never had any
personal email correspondence with anyone at MySQL, let alone Monty.

If you let me know the email address that was used, I can investigate when I return to work tomorrow. (My work email is hingo@askmonty.org)

As far as I know, there is no email database as such, people are just forwarding the email to their friends and contacts. If you got it from Monty, then somehow he has your address.
