I did introduce 2 new parameters in sympa.conf :
spam_protection and web_archive_spam_protection. All templates and 
mhonarc ressources are changed in order to reflex this change. This is 
available in CVS tree :

http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/sympa/doc/sympa/node5.html#SECTION00515000000000000000

Current version allow javascript and cookie protection :
 - cookie protection is the old archive protection mode. None email
   sniffer never collect trap email that we had in our archives, but
   mode also block google bot.

 - javascript replace email by a javascript. If you look at sources
   from sympa-users archives using "view source" in your brother you
   may all emails but if you disable javascript you will see
   javascript source. We beleive email-sniffer do not interpret
   it.

Now it will be easy to add new spam protection mode such as replace
emails by some cgi or by a image of the email text.
