Re: Spam: process the web archives?

Hi,

  Many people noticed the increasing level of spam these
  days. I do consider that the web archives of the debian
  lists help spammers a lot since they provide email
  addresses as is.

  I would suggest that we process the web archives, rewriting
  every email address so that they can no longer be used by
  spammers.

I have seen this done by converting the text mail addresses to images. That way the addresses are still unmunged and human-readable, but not harvestable.

Ought to work, these being web archives.
