Hi, I've noticed that in the archive of this list, the posts I made
publicly contain my full email address instead of it being obfuscated
like on other lists (e.g. they change email addresses in the archive
to something like user[at]domain[dot]com or user domain com, etc) it's
fully displayed in its original format making it perfect for being
picked up by spam bots...shouldn't the emai addresses in the debian
archives for all the lists be obfuscated so that spam bots can't pick
up the email addresses? I for one already have enough spam...:-/ :-(
Yes, the e-mail addresses in the archives are unobfuscated, and, yes,
the spam-bots do harvest there. I will leave it to others to explain
the rationale behind this methodology.
