"A spambot is a program designed to collect e-mail addresses from the Internet in order to build mailing lists for sending unsolicited e-mail, also known as spam."[1]
This is a war. And "address munging"[2] is an important soldier in this war.

Please, protect us...

it correctly even after 7 1/2 years in the mailing list archive.

Well, not exactly. I think we could rethink the concept of munging. For
example, it could be healthy to make all addresses shown on listarchives
to show as someuser at somedomain dot com, and that's it. We could
prevent some email addresses collecting, probably.

However, bugs.debian.org should be a different way to handle it, since
lists and bugs are different things so far.

Any listarchives expert around?

For the PUBLIC List-Archives the only way would be, IF the shown E-Mail
addresses would be transformed into a "href" and the person, which want
to respond to an archived message nust Emter it in a Webform located
on <lists.debian.org>.

This would defintiv prevent spambots graping the E-Mails from the archive

Another possibility would be, IF ALL E-Mails (including the sended one)
would be munged by <lists.debian.org> to point to dynamic pseudo E-Mails
which go through a seperated Debian Server which try to filter the SPAM

I think, the number incoming Messages is nor realy high, since I receive
over <debian-user-german> arround 60-150 message per day, which mean, it
would be environement 8000 Messages per day  or all 10 seconds one. This
traffic can even be handled by an old HP Vectra XA5/200MMT (P1/200MHz/192MB)

Even trivial obfuscating (like changing "@" to "at") would help a little
and make life of some spammers a little harder.
Ubuntu lists archives link in mailto: to the list address instead of
senders address.
Google Groups shows the whole email address only after solving a
captcha. Sight-impaired users can play the captcha sound (but I don't
know if it works).
Gentoo mailing list archives hide the whole domain of the sender.
Gmane shows the address in an image.
This is a serious issue and Debian again is years behind others :(
I got my primary email address (not this one) exposed on a debian
mailing list when someone (without my knowledge) forwarded my email to
the list without obfuscating my address. :/
I'm not subscribed to ANY debian mailing list, yet I've become a victim
of your mailing lists policy.
