After being subscribed to the list for two weeks and posting three mails on one subject I received spam on the address that I used to subscribe/post.
Either address harvesters are adapting to read the "name at domain" format that is used in the archive, or they auto-subscribe to mailinglists to get addresses from the traffic, or the news gateways leaks addresses, or whatever...
I'll unsubscribe and put this address on my blacklist of burnt addresses.
If you add a "X-Archive: encrypt" header, gmane will encrypt your email addresses http://gmane.org/tmda.php
I guess you may read this, but you don't make easy to reach you :)
Thank you for that hint. I'll try this when subscribing with a different address. We'll see if that will keep that address from getting spammed.
Working on the assumption that you could withhold email ad- dresses from spammers is like trying to evade STDs by dating virgins - it will not succeed.
Set up a decent spam filter if you need a technical solu- tion, and you're done.
