Well, this time it took just 11 days to get my first bit of spam from
this mailing list.
Folks, I think the OP set up a custom email before posting, and it took
only 11 days for it to get harvested and spam to pour in.
Frankly, I'm surprised it took that long.
Or maybe that's only the spam that got past existing filtering.
Perhaps a concerted effort to contact responsible administrators of
archive to get them to obfuscate email addresses is a Good Idea.
Dunno who's going to actually *DO* it, mind you...
That would be a looooonnnnnnng list of admins. This list (as well as
most OS lists) seems to archived everywhere these days.
I'm willing to bet that half the servers that archive mailing lists are doing ao
for nefarious SEO reasons (it doesn't matter what the content is - as long as
they can wrap it in paid advertising)
- the upshot being they really don't give a **** about spam harvesters.
...so you get half the admins being cool and obsfucating email addrs on pages
containing list archives and the email harvesters using the other halfs archives :-(
