After some Googling I've found another web site mirroring this list (http://pvrweb.com). I think the mirror is auto created, but the
generated
threads contains all the sender mail addresses for followup messages in clear text.
Just to make this clear... All the incoming messages have the email addresses changed so they will read 'name at address.com' so this will not get picked up by most spam systems. I think this is the same procedure used by the published copy on the main site.
Where this idea failed was that in the message in question someone had included the email address in the message. I am looking into scanning the messages for email addresses without messing up code fragments now.
Sorry if this has caused anyone any problems.

I believe that it is no big thing to include "support" for "email at host" in email-collector robots. If "email at host" is the general format to "protect" against robots it will no longer be a protection.
The question is if the sender adress has to be to be published in any form? I think an archive is more suitable for just following previous threads than contacting someone months or years later.

Same thing here. I have two accounts, only for the vdr- and the dvb-mailing lists, and I'm getting a lot of spam.
For example look at this thread:
http://www.pvrweb.com//bbs-old/viewtopic.php?t=3566&view=next
You will find this line:

BTW. Please use this mail to fix your ugly list mirror !

That is what I like nice polite people...
This is exactly the same problem. The email is in the message. Someone (or someones email client) has put it in the message. As this is an issue and I hate spambots and spam I will remove all email addresses from messages. I have already updated the page to drop the domains in the headers of the mails and the other bit will be done as soon as I write the code to scan the mails as they come in (and recheck all the old ones)
PS - check : http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/vdr/2005/01-2005/msg00598.html Your email is on more than just my website.
