Hiding addresses doesn't help do that. Wise mailing list subscribers either use old (pre-spam) addresses which have long since been ruined anyhow (such as the one I'm using in this list) or throw-away addresses from one of the free webmail providers for subscribing to lists. One approach is to encourage your list subscribers to do the same. Despite the fact that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is widely available (1510 hits in Google just now), there are only 15 messages sitting in my Spam folder (purged after 7 days) at the moment. And a trickle into the In box, some legit and some spam my ISP missed (at this instant, there's a weekly mailing list and a fraudulant lottery winner message [which came through tiscali.fr] in the In box). --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
