Not @ all. As far as I know you have a webinterface for the
maillinglist, which makes it possible to view the thread(s)
of the maillinglist via web.
There is the problem !!! I have searched fpr my unique name 
[email protected] and I found my adress many times in the web.
There is comming a webharvester and collects the email adresses. And the
spam is in.

Please build a webinterface which removes all email-adresses in the
list-view.  They are not nessesary to view the content

I drop all messages from your mailinglist without [openbrick] in the
subject.... and I check the IP also ... before I did this 5 spam mails
every day .... now there is no one... (rbl etc protection etc....)

You can get them also with the subject....

and use the tools deliverd with it ... rblcheck,dnsreverse check etc.
