is this mailing list protected against spam harvesters?

Btw, is this mailing list protected against spam harvesters? I know the 
archives are published online, are the email addresses in the messages 
online protected in any way, or are they ripe for the harvesters?

I remember asking a related question maybe a year ago.  I asked whether
apache.org mail servers have anti-spam software installed, and the
answer was negative and without an explanation.

No, as far as I can see not. I complained about this issue when 
Eyebrowse went online but my complaints were graciously ignored. Anybody 
on the PMC who is responsible for that?

Even worse, we have archives in mbox format here accessible for the 
public: http://jakarta.apache.org/mail/bsf-dev/

There are some more archives that archive our lists:
  * mail-archive.com  does a very good job at filtering out email addresses
  * marc.theaimsgroup.com is not bad, but not good enough
  Don't know about the rest.

Actually >95% of email I get is uninteresting mailing list junk, SPAM or 
virii, about 10-20 MB per day.
