Received quite a lot of spam today mailed to fsfeurope2<at symbol>nedprod.com which I use on fsfe-ie@fsfeurope.org and discussion@fsfeurope.org. One of these mailing lists is displaying our email addresses publicly!
Do you perhaps mean s_fsfeurope2? From a quick search it's quite likely that your address was harvested from the November archives, when someone answered a message from you, quoting your email address in the body of the response.
Yes sorry - quite right.
While Mailman's pipermail archive does obfuscate the email addresses in the headers of an email, it doesn't generally do this for the body of the mails because doing so would break possible GPG signatures.
Of course. Can you email me privately who it was and I will send them an email expressing my grave displeasure? I tried browsing the Nov archive myself but couldn't find the culprit (and downloading the full archive of 2Mb would take me some time and centimos).
I've already lost s_fsfeurope to spammers, I really don't want to have to move to s_fsfeurope3 :(
Cheers, Niall
Curiously google can't find it either:

Maybe the spammers will now recognise and harvest "a at b.org" ?
