I'm not sure, but I think this option is already enabled as the addresses ARE obfuscated in the archives. > antispamdomain = string with invalid domain > By default the spamprotect option only does a small amount of massaging of > email addresses.

If you enable this option, you lose information in the archive because it's no longer possible to contact the author of a message if you have additional questions. It would be necessary to obfuscate the addresses in such a way that they are still usable. But then it would probably take a few weeks or months and the bots are intelligent enough to read those addresses as well. The problem has been discussed a hundred times and nobody brought up a good solution as there is no good solution.
