Hi All,

 

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.

 

Thanks,

 

Grant
