The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

You're right the javascript-based Spam protection was not fully 
efficient untill...today.
We've fixed (in the develpment CVS tree) a few things including the 
problem you've reported :
   * email addresses protection in web archives was not fully efficient 
because of a wrong regular expression
   passed to Mhonarc via the M2H_ADDRESSMODIFYCODE environment variable
   * when owners/moderators did not declare their full name, email is 
used instead and displayed
   on the list info page. It was not protected.
   * email address of document authors were not protected in the 
document repository (shared)
   * the list's email address itself is now protected

All these changes will be part of Sympa 4.x release.

Any comments are welcome.
