Hi all,
It's a constant battle against the spambots. We do a lot of
anti-spambot stuff already, but there are a lot of spam miscreants out
there. Now that MHonArc 2.6 is out I will probably switch to (succumb
to?) completely censoring the email addresses appearing in message
bodies, i.e. replace them with something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I'll
probably give the new MHonArc a few more weeks to cut its teeth in the
wild before switching over.

PS. It sucks to live in a world where such steps are necessary.
Spam continues to be on the short list of things that threaten
Mail-Archive's long term survival.
