We have a oneway feed to a newsgroup. I understand why a
person would want to hide their email addresses on
newsgroups but I'm sure the bigger spammers have already
implimented software to dig through the addresses harvested
from newsgroups and to pull at least the most common
additions out of those addresses. It wouldn't be that hard
to filter out the real address from a spam free address with
software.

I have tried to get the spam freer's to use a hotmail
account instead for the list. I was hoping there might be a
better solution.
