Perhaps this displays my profound ignorance but why don't the
"list" indices only provide a "contact" e-mail address
rather than the list addresses. Then the value of having the
information readily accessible is maintained, but in a format only
really of use to an individual seeking a list on a specific
subject.
Spamers are like other confidence operators, maximum bang for
minimum buck. If an index only provides information sufficient
to access to a mailing list subscription address rather than the
list itself then the benefit of using such facilities for automated
spambots will be much reduced, if not eliminated. Consequently the
motivation for abusing such facilities will be reduced as well.

Jim
