The mailing list archives are publicly available. e.g. your message is<br>
at <a href="http://lists.ausnog.net/pipermail/ausnog/2015-December/033915.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.ausnog.net/pipermail/ausnog/2015-December/033915.html</a> ,<br>
with limited, and presumably ineffective obfuscation of email addresses.<br>
<br>
That means that email addresses can be relatively easily harvested<br>
without subscription, so the list charter is irrelevant. An Australian<br>
sender would still be regulated by the Spam Act 2003, but not so for an<br>
offshore spammer.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the web archives should be restricted to logged in users?<br>
<br>
