I just noticed that you sign your posts with your name and e-mail address. My
guess is that the e-mail is being harvested from there. Lugnet wouldn't be able
to do anything about that, as the bot is probably reading the rendered HTML.
It might not reduce your current spam, as the address is already posted, but if
you don't include your e-mail address in your signature, it should keep bots
from finding your address in future posts.
