The problem is there's no way to stop a widely-read list from having its
email harvested. I dont think the main apache.org archive site exposes
email addresses, but there's not much that can be doen about other sites
publishing the archives (they do), and not much that can be done about
spamming, or here, some form of 419 scam.
