I am considering changing my email address because of the amount of Spam
I am getting. One of the reasons that I am getting so much spam is that
my email address is in places that spam harvesters can get at it. One of
these places is in the rtems archive. If I change my email address and
start sending messages to this newsgroup, the spam harvesters are going
to get me again.
Is there a way we can overcome this by making the archives less
accessible to spambots. One way I have seen is that the user is required
to enter text that is displayed on a PNG file.
