[Lurker-users] Hide email address

[Alexandru J. <ale...@ro...>]

Hello.

We have recently installed lurker for our mailing lists. It's very
nice to have around.

But there is one problem that we spotted: the email addresses of the
users on our mailing list appears public in the Archive as a mailto:
link.
It is very easy for a spam bot to build a spam database with them.

Is there an option to turn of the showing of the emails?

Thank you.

# Tell lurker to hide email addresses.
# 
# Normally, lurker includes all email addresses in the source email message.
# Some people feel that this helps spammers with email address harvesting.
# However, removing addresses makes your archive less useful to visitors.
# 
# This will also try to obscure email addresses found in message bodies.
# This option will not affect display of mailing list or admin addresses.

hide_email = on
