Hi Casey et al, Thanks for the useful information! I was just noticing that all of our email addresses are available as-is on the discussion archives (http://archive.develooper.com/beginners-cgi%40perl.org/) where they could easily be harvested by evil spam-bots and used to send us junk.
Do you think it would be possible to either hide our addresses completely or protect them with some manner of "text-armor" (a la slashdot perhaps? peter[dot]kappus[at]corbis[dot]com, etc.) I see that we're using MHonArc for our list archiving and it doesn't seem to support such a feature. So we may need to hack something onto the existing system. If it's a resources issue, I'm happy to help out however I can... Does anybody else share these concerns or have other approaches for a solution? I suspect everybody on the perl.org lists is susceptible to having their email sucked up and sold... Many thanks and happy coding, -Peter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:casey@;geeknest.com] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 5:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Weekly list FAQ posting 1.4 - Is there an archive on the web?
