[CUBE] Offering email addresses to spammers as a policy

This list's subscribers should be aware of the long-term result of
subscribing to the list, that their e-mail privacy is compromised by the
server.

Exactly, in you case, I see your email address is accessible to spammers in
this search:

Seems like this "archiving" didn't start until late last year. Any real
database-driven archive would be inaccessible to spambots, but this Cube
archive is plain public HTML pages.

I have done this without success for too long, but thanks for the bluntness.

Yes.
