Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 19:55:58 -0600 Hi Grant you WROTE: Please let me discuss one of my ongoing complaints about this list which has never been addressed. When someone posts to the list, their Email address appears in FULL on the Rockbox Mail Archives page. Most list providers like Yahoo and FreeLists truncate an email address like email_at_domain.com to something like email_at_d... . Spammers have tools that enable them to search on Google or other search engines for Email addresses. Sure enough, if I type my own address into Google, the only results that appear are posts by myself to the Rockbox mailing list. Since subscribing to the list, I am getting flooded with spam and have had to switch to a secondary Email address. This is the only list I'm on where this is a problem. Could we please have this fixed? Some people might not receive spam, and some spam will unavoidably be from other sources other than this list, but it certainly doesn't help. Actually, this topic has been discussed before. It would probably be better to take this off list to the list moderator don't you think? rocker ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grant Hardy" <grant_hardy_at_telus.net> To: "'Rockbox'" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 5:32 PM Subject: Configuration of the List Hi All, Please let me discuss one of my ongoing complaints about this list which has never been addressed.
