I wonder if we could find hints. The best way is probably to ask to
each people who has been ennoyed because theirs email were published.
However, it will be hard to find them and remember them the problem is
probably not the best thing to do.
We can compare with the policy of other distributions.
john-doe@provider.tld will become:
RedHat: john-doe provider tld
Ubuntu: john-doe at provider.tld
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2015-May/280731.html)
Mageia: no transformation but the user needs to click a 'I'm not a
spammer' button.
(https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/sysadmin-discuss/2015-05/msg00000.html)
Suse: john-doe@xxxxxxxx
(http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2015-05/msg00885.html)
Archlinux : john-doe at provider.tld
(https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-May/039040.html)
FreeBSD: john-doe at provider.tld
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-chat/2015-May/007039.html)
OpenBSD: no archive managed by the project (
http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html#Archives). Others services provide
HTML archive:
- http://marc.info: john-doe () provider ! tld
(http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=143308325529308&w=2)
- gmane.org: john-doe <at> provider.tld
(http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc)
NetBSD: john-doe%provider.tld@localhost
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2015/05/31/msg027490.html)
NetBSD provides links to gmane too.
Of course it's not a proof but others linux/bsd distributions do
something instead of just keeping unmodified. Perhaps we could ask to
some of them if they still got complains.
I don't want to fight for this solution to be implemented. I just want
it will be fully explored.
In my opinion, if we will hide the e-mails, it's not a replacement to
the text explaining to the user that theirs e-mail will be published.
