How do you know that it was your archived post that the spammers
picked up on?    It is also possible that the harvester is an address
subscribed to asterisk-users.

IMHO, obfuscating the archives achieves little effect other than a
false sense of hope.   The fact is spammers don't want stale archived
email addresses, they want fresh active (i.e. poster's) addresses.
