I like regular users being able to find the sometimes useful information in
my list archives, so I don't block them from robots. What I do instead is
modify the email addresses (replacing the user id portion with
"(suppressed)") so that spammers can't make use of them.

If someone really need to get in touch with the original author, they can
write to me (I keep an unmodified archive on a separate machine from my
server).
