On a related note, on a site I'm associated with, we have a whole lot
of mailing lists, and a number of them have recently been getting a lot
of spam. I assume that this is because the addresses have been
harvested from the web site. We blocked the main listinfo page so that
it can only be seen by certain IPs, but that's a very ugly hack. Is
there a more interesting way to obscure the names of the mailing lists
so that they can't be harvested?

I'd like to hide or obfuscate email addresses in the list archives, but can't see an obvious way to do this. Right now we seem to be a target for address-harvesting, and it bothers our users. But we'd like to leave the archives public. Is there something I can do to mailman to get this behaviour?

Thanks Moz
