Here's a little script I wrote when I was in the same situation. It's
more aggressive than spammode, though, because it cloaks all addresses
in the file.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -pi~
s|([\!\%\w\.\-+=/]+@)([\w\.\-]+)|$1.('x' x length($2))|ge
The substitute command came from MHonArc. It replaces the domain with
an equal-length string of x's.

I restroactively munge the HTML that MHonArc produces to corrupt email addresses. via a simple sed script. See ftp://ftp.kanga.nu/pub/Kanga.Nu/MHonArc/emailmunge Note that there is a known problem with this script. MHonArc fequently (not always) appears to re-write the last N message files on each run (I presume based on the thread linkages). This results in some messages being re-written and then not re-munged due to the filename cacheing done via ./.emunge.db. One of my list members has hacked the script to work around this (there's a bug report with a copy of the hacked script under http://www.kanga.nu/tasks/) but I haven't checked or tested the details of what he did. -- J C Lawrence Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --(*) Other: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

It shares another problem with my scipt in that it will munge
MessageIDs as well. This can cause (as I've found) minor threading
and use problems (MessageIDs are the one true index key and you
edited them).
