Same here, though it concerns me a lot less now that I post from a
non-existant address.

It /is/ possible to configure pipermail (the archive management
software which comes with GNU mailman) to obscure e-mail addresses,
however the feature is broken in all releases of GNU Mailman prior to
I think 2.1.0 or so. BLU uses 2.0.6 which is b0rken. An upgrade
would be necessary to fix the problem.
