Yes me too... and what I think happens is these people go around subscribing
themselves to alot of lists and then listen to the posts and add your email
to their list.. then the spammarama starts.....

Subject: [SLUG] Archived email address - SPAM meat?


I'm not sure if this has been covered by SLUG policy, but is 
it normal practise to have the list archive display every posters
valid email address? A lot of list archives I have seen scramble
or mask the email address.

I might just be paranoid, but I seem to have been getting a lot 
more spam since I started posting to SLUG - At least one
offer a day of someone trying to sell me a database of email
addresses. :) Spam does not bother me too much but it does
cost money.
