The list archives are password protected for mailop and only available
for members.
It is a near certainty that bad actors are subscribed to this list.
So nobody can publicitly scrape them unless they are member of the
list.
One "member" of the list appears to be an address that feeds
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
So *anyone* can subscribe.

but I have felt so far that this is not yet necessary for lists,
too, as they
have good gatekeepers who are keeping the annoyances out.
It doesn't matter who runs a list or how. Nothing stops random idiot
spammers
from accessing public list archives to scrape addresses.
It looks to me like they're targeting the scraped addresses directly,
rather
than using them as senders to spam the list. Is that true?
