spam mail fodder from public mailing lists

[Gray Watson]

Hey:

So yesterday I spidered your public mailing lists on:

   http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html

I was able to get 38000 email addresses (probably ~10000 of which are
valid).  This is a gold mine for spam email spiders.

I think it irresponsible in this day in age to provide fodder for the
spammers and I encourage you to remove them ASAP.  I'm not talking
about changing "foo@bar.com" into "foo at bar dot com" which is
trivial to decode.

If you need help or technical assistance with this, please let me
know.

thanks,
---
