What are you talking about? The OFFICIAL e-mail archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> has full anti-spam protection (all senders' e-mail addresses are removed). This is fine. However, MacLaunch runs the CommuniGate Pro mail server, which as a built-in service maintains its own lists located on port 80 of the server machine, in this case <http://mail.maclaunch.com/>. These have no anti-spam protection whatsoever. "Don't post" is a nonsense answer, it won't remove the addresses that are there now. ANY respectable e-mail archive for "average" people (techie places like Mozilla Bugzilla presumably expect people to be aware of spam to the extent that they use disposable addresses, but even that is a nuisance preferably avoided!) should take steps to protect the addresses of posters in this spam-ridden age. > The alternative is to kill the long-term > archives, which does a disservice to everyone.

No, the alternative is to kill the screwed-up system that CommuniGate Pro runs. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
