If you check the archive, you will see that the archival process (mhonarc), obfuscates all email addresses before writing any bytes. http://www.dcglug.org.uk/archive/2008/03/msg00086.html (domains are replaced with xxxxxx and links use DOMAIN.HIDDEN). Only DCGLUG members can view your email details. Spammers don't need to trawl archives with spiders - any email address that has been used for any mailing list will eventually receive spam. There's no need for DCGLUG to make that any easier so I use the email obfuscation support in MHonArc but it can't stop any spam getting sent to your list address. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
