Puppet users - Sep 2011 - Email Protection? (NON SUBJECT ORIENTED)

Are you guys doing anything to protect our email addresses? Ever since I
made my first post on here, I have been getting some VERY malicious stuff
coming to my account?

If you get malicious email as a result of posting to any email list
then I suggest you improve your junk email filter. I believe it''s
not the job of the list maintainer to "protect" email addresses
unless the maintainer claims up from that postings will be
anonymous.

Cordially,
Jon Forrest

There''s a reasonable expectation that the list mods aren''t
dumping the
subscriber addresses and selling them off to spammers.

We''re not doing that. :)

Seriously, it is Google Groups, so you get the protection it offers,
requiring logins and CAPTCHA to view full email addresses on the web
archives, etc etc, but it''s difficult to stop people subscribing to
lists
and collecting addresses that way.

That''s one good argument to use a unique address for email list
subscriptions, right there... particularly if your junk mail filter is not
up to snuff. Using a gmail address for google groups has always seemed like
a reasonable compromise, to me (and my "personal" and
"professional"
addresses are kept separate, of course). Care *always* should be taken when
you''re "taking an email address public."

Regards,
Russell
