Hi folks,
since I'm posting to this list, I receive more and more viruses every day. A few minutes ago, I received a bounced virus-mail reputedly sent by me.
the only mailing list i am subscribed to at this address is gentoo-user. i have never posted this address on the internet anywhere.
i *NEVER* received spam before signing up on gentoo-user, and now i receive about *1 MB* of spam/viruses each day. therefore it's obvious that gentoo-user is the source of the spam and viruses.
now, guess what? go to google groups (dejanews, whatever) and look at the group linux.gentoo.user. i believe that's where and how the spam/virus programs harvest addresses.
it is incredibly naive on google's part to do such a stupid thing as not hide email addresses, like mail-archive does. how can we prevent gentoo-user from being archived on google, or stop google from making email addresses public information?
