Spam problems with mailman on the DCML

[Richard]

It seems the DCML is victim of its own popularity!
After I have subscribed recently to this list and posted a few messages there
with a totally new email address, I quickly started receiveing spam. I
have two friends with the same experience.
It seems spamers can easily collect email addresses from the "user at 
domain.com" text on the DCML archive web pages. 

Unfortunately even the latest mailman edition doesn't hide email addresses on 
web pages. What's worse, I contacted the authors and it doesn't seem they 
want to change that, for some obscure reason. However, they pointed me to 
this:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=850805&group_id=103&atid=300103 

Maybe it's worth looking at the above URL. This patch add emails from web 
pages. 

If you converse privately, it could take years before you're spammed. With the 
DCML, this is a matter of days. And I don't see the benefit of having our 
addresses on all the DCML archives web pages.
