FYI, I upgraded mhonarc to 2.6.0. It has one new feature that may
be of interest -- it can be configured to munge e-mail addresses
in the body of messages. Until now, mhonarc would only munge e-mail
addresses in the headers. I'm uninterested in enabling the
body-email-message-munging because it seems too likely to fail, but
I figured I'd mention it.
There was also a discussion on the mhonarc mailing list over the
past couple weeks about address munging schemes. Most involve
protecting the archives with well-known passwords that humans can
trivially figure out, but that would hose the search engines so
that's not so cool. One person had an interesting suggestion:
http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-users/2003-02/msg00040.html
Which uses some clever HTTP trickery that the spam harvesters probably
can't get right now. But they could eventually figure it out..
(Incidentally, the date index at that web archive is pretty nice looking.)
