This list with all its messages is archived with the complete headers, mirrored and searchable throughout the net. That of course also attracts the dirty spam bots.
Yes, the headers are visable. We don't use the header from though, we use the envelope from. No one can see your envelope from except you and the list admin. If you are that concerned about your address being taken by spammers then munge your header from since we ignore it and that's what shows in the archives. As for spam bots, I block about 5 ips per week that ignore the robots.txt file on lists.suse.com. I have no control over the other archives. -- -ckm
