I've ticked the 'Show member addresses so they're not directly recognizable
as email addresses?' option in Mailman, so what it's doing is pretty much
all it can do.  Which admittedly isn't great.  Although none of the email
addresses are actual email addresses ('at' instead of '@'), it only means
the spammers will have to work 5% harder to steal our addresses.  That's, of
course, assuming they don't already have them, and judging by my spam folder
they already do.

I think we've probably lost the battle of not letting the spammers get our
addresses, now we just need to win the battle of teaching our mail software
to ignore the words OEM software, Viagra, Cialis, Stock Report, Nigeria and
MegaDik (apologies to anyone who can't read this message because of those
words).

If people are hugely concerned about this then I can make the archives
private again, I just think Thomas is right in that there's a benefit to the
greater ruby community of having them public.
