I don't mean to be annoying or anything, but I don't understand the problem here. What harm is done if a public list like this is archived in other formats? Anyone can subscribe, the archives are freely searchable and downloadable on the iem.at site. I am having a hard time seeing any violation of privacy if someone mirrors the public archive.
I think, posting pd-list mails to a blog site is something different from the official (iem) and semi-official (elists.com, gmane) archives.
Did you take a look at the respective blogger site? http://pdlist.blogspot.com/ Did you read the comments? It's pure blogspam, which is riding piggyback on content generated by the pd community. This definitely is not a context I would want my texts to appear, so I'm glad IOhannes brough this up again and finally suspended what I consider exploitation of the pd-list.
Plus: blogger.com is not even taking the small anti-spam measurements gmane uses: You can find verbatim email addresses in the blog entries, whereas gmane at least semi-hides it with <at>.
Yeah, I agree with that, but I made my point since it seemed that people were talking about more broad ranging restrictions.
Personally, I've given up on trying to prevent spammers from getting my email address, it's been on websites since '97. Luckily, Bayesian filters work quite well. I get 150 spams a day, but I see like 5 or so.
