[Ilugc] security hole in mailing lists archives
hi, I was looking at the list archives in both gmane and mailman. In gmane the obfuscation of email addresses is done properly. The domain name is concealed. In mailman, the obfuscation is not done according to the accepted standard. The full email address is revealed, but 'at' substituted for '@'. Even a child can write a script to decode this. And address harvesters have far more sophisticated scripts at their command. Listadmin may kindly follow the accepted practice of 'usern...@...'. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
