yet they would allow someone with malicious intentions to possibly pose as you and get more information. maybe even reset your network password if they get a lacadasical operatir in the campus IT department.
I highly recommend Kevin Mitnick's book, The Art of Deception for a good look at social engineering and how .sig's like yours make it easier to accomplish.
Furthermore, I hope that your mailman password would not allow someone to "crack the university network" as the many references to the mailman pages have identified that it says to use a trivial password.

I can be tempted to say the same thing to people that freak out, yet broadcast their email, 3 phone numbers and a fax in plaintext.
Neither my E-mail address nor any of the phone numbers, not even the FAX
number would allow someone with less than honorable intentions to crack
the campus system. Broadcasting a password associated with a name clearly
does.
Peace, health, wisdom and wealth. Live long and prosper.
