Right now, the Linux-IL archives list the senders of the messages along
with their E-mails. As it is, Spam harvesters can process the archives
looking for E-mail addresses. So, list subscribers can expect to get more
spam because of sending messages to the list.
One way to eliminate this is to place a link to a CGI script that will
return a mailto: URL instead of the standard
<A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Foo &[EMAIL PROTECTED]></A>. Thus it will
look like this:
<A HREF="http://www.url/cgi-bin/e-mail.cgi?id=7654345">Foo</A>
This should avoid the address being registered by most E-mail addresses
scanners.
Of course it will require setting a CGI script on the same host as the
archives, with interaction from the archives manager to locate and add
addresses to its list.
I suggest the webmaster of the archives implement a solution like
that. Some people like Ira Abramov avoid being registered to Linux-IL
because of this.
