Actually, contrary to popular belief, you cannot obtain the emails of members 
from the mailing list archives -- this is a spam-prevention feature in the 
later versions of mailman.  For example, Jef's email address as published in 
the archives is 

"Jef Barnhart clue-admin at clue.denver.co.us"

Here's a link:

So, actually, all of the spam bots harvest clue-admin at clue.denver.co.us and 
then attempt to post as non-members.  I typically receive 15-30 emails a week 
posted to these lists, and they are held for manual approve.  It's a hassle 
and once the new CLUE server is ready (Dave?) we are installing SpamAssassin.
