Package: debbugs Version: N/A; reported 2002-11-22 Severity: wishlist On Monday I used an email address for the very first time, to submit a bug, and four days later I received spam at that address (which I have now disabled). Presumably this is because spammers are crawling the web and snarfing up email addresses.
Maybe the web interface should rewrite the email addresses to make them harder for the robots to find. Here are some ideas: user at domain.net user<!-- no spam -->@<!-- no spam -->domain.net The latter will look perfectly normal when rendered by the browser, and will be cut-and-pastable, but might be sufficiently confusing to the robots (they'd have to correctly deal with entity references, line breaks, and HTML comments). The former requires human editing before it can be used, but might be better at confusing the robots. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux arwen 2.4.19 #2 SMP Fri Nov 22 02:47:50 GMT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US
