Questions:
Some list archives are member readable only, is this a reasonable
configuration? Perhaps once this thread ends it should be summarized and
added to the PLUG info / FAQ pages?
Just to confirm: If you have a post only eddress I guess then one has a
second subscribed eddress which only receives. Am I correct in thinking that
this prevents you from saying, "reply to me off-list" or the like?
Additionally this solution makes someone finding your eddress in the archive
in the future (and present) useless anyway, no?
Two notes:
Voicenet.com, does SPAM filtering for me. I can see the filtered emails via
webmail, and also add to my own 'whitelist' via web GUI. It catches maybe
80% of my SPAM. Peeping the header for an email earlier today from someone
at Drexel shows:

Also NTBugTraq "despammed" the archives three weeks ago...

--> Subject: Administrivia #30680 - Spam harvesting and NTBugtraq
-->
-->
--> FYI, spammers harvest email addresses from web sites.
--> NTBugtraq's web archives are on-line, not only my copy, but
--> also at many other locations. Ergo, if you post to NTBugtraq it
--> is likely your email address will end up on some spammers list.
--> I've had one subscriber inform me that an address he uses
--> exclusively for posts to NTBugtraq has received spam.
-->
--> I have tried to prevent spammers from harvesting from
--> NTBugtraq's website through a variety of means, but I finally
--> decided to get tough. I have "despammed" all of the email
--> addresses in the archives by replacing the "@" auto-magically.
--> Unfortunately I am unable to do this with the emails
--> themselves, as no doubt some archive mirrors will not take the
--> same or similar steps I have. I have asked that people not put
--> mirrors of NTBugtraq on-line, but alas I can't stop them.
-->
--> In any event, spammers will no longer be getting addresses from
--> the NTBugtraq website copy of the archives. I wish I had
--> thought of this sooner. You should be able to figure out the
--> correct email addresses yourself when you look at the archives.
-->
--> Cheers,
--> Russ - NTBugtraq Editor
