Subject: GMANE archive and E-mail address encryption
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 21:34:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vt2vfpolzty.fsf@zenia.home> (raw)
The gdb@ and gdb-patches@ are both archived on gmane.org. Since that
site makes messages available via both HTTP and NNTP, spam harvesters
could gather addresses from there. It tries to obscure the addresses
when it presents them via HTTP, but it can't really do that with NNTP.
GMANE does, however, have an option that list administrators can
request that will encrypt E-mail addresses when they appear in the
archives --- and provide forwarding so that the encrypted addresses
actually work. For details, see:
http://gmane.org/tmda.php
I don't know a reliable way to check this, but it seems to me that
address encryption is not enabled for gdb@ and gdb-patches@. Could we
turn that on? The FAQ says how to go about that:
