It seems spamers can easily collect email addresses from the "user at domain.com" text on archive web pages. It seems this is what happens even with the latest version available. (Please correct me if I am wrong).
If this is your list, you're free to apply patches to try to make this harder for them. See <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=850805&group_id=103&atid=300103> for one example.
This protection is not enough! I suggest to totally remove emails from web pages, and let users add their email if they want - possibly in a "secret" form, like "NoSpamuser @ domain.com.invalid (remove invalid and nospam)".
Any programmatic technique you can use to hide addresses can likewise be un-done by other programmatic techniques to find them. Short of changing the addresses in an irretrievable fashion (such as done by the patch above), there is absolutely nothing you can do about this.
