I hadn't thought that spammers would subscribe to these lists just to harvest addresses, but that's obviously possible too. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Bodewig =20 Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 2:17 AM To: dev@ant.apache.org Subject: Re: MARC - spam enabler On Fri, 31 Oct 2003, Steve Cohen wrote: > Can't MARC be fixed to munge email addresses?

I've just removed your email address from the attribution my MUA generates. 8-) Marc is by far not the only way a spammer can get at your address you use for posting here. Eyebrowse is another option, as are our mbox archives. It's even quite easy to subscribe an address collecting bot to the list. > I am sick of seeing my postings to these lists turn into spam cannons=20 > pointed back at myself. There is no way to avoid that, all you can do is to use smart spam detection software on your side, sorry. Spammers will get your address if you use it on public lists and no address munging will stop them from doing so.
