The protection is not for email addresses necessarily, it's to keep automated software from hammering our systems with 32K queries in 1 hour driving up our system load. Listserv archives aren't in a public open directory. You have to go through Listserv to get to them. Whatever software they were using was going through the web access part of Listserv. We wound up having to block that IP at our campus router.
