There's the same problem here on Lugnet: if you're reading this from the
Lugnet
web site, just look over the "reply" icon, there's a "View raw message"
link.
Try it...

The address shown for me is :

<lar(at@at)miltontrainworks(dot.dot)com> (that is, it's been mangled, if you
"view raw message" for THIS post you'll see what I mean)


But if you subscribe via email, the from is unmangled.  So a smammer
would just have to subscribe for a while and collect all the "from"
addressed (the reply-to is set to the mailing list, however) and bingo
- has a nice big list of valid addresses.

Well bother. Shows what I know, I haven't subscribed to LUGNET via email (or
used a newsreader to read it, for that matter) since forever. Never mind then, I
guess.

XFut admin.general, this issue affects more than just this group.
