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