Possibly, but also the addresses are exposed on the archive site where they
can easily be skimmed.

I use a Sneakemail address for all lists, a free service which forwards to
a real address (though the volume of the G-list is getting close to the
limit for a free account). I kill them and get a new one when I start to
get spam on one. With the G-list this happens about once every two months.
