I havn't seen spam comming through the list server. I presume the issue


We're not talking about spam via the list; we're talking about
spammers who troll the list archives for e-mail addresses, which are
then sold to spammers who mail direct.


Can email addresses be automatically obfuscated at the list server side?


That is what is being proposed.  :)

Just a clarification:

the addresses in cleartext in the archive are of the form '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. So, if you're [EMAIL PROTECTED], the spammer might pick up an address like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whether or not you receive mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] depends on how you or your ISP has set up Sendmail/whatever, so many of you may not be getting these spams.
