Subject:   Email harvesting on

In the online documentation for freebsd, such as on this page:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

Unmunged email addresses are scattered throughout.

Is it possible that in order to thwart email harvesting that we institute a
policy of munging the addresses? Like... hostmaster [at] ca.freebsd.org or
even hostmaster [at] ca [dot] freebsd [dot] org

I have received 200+ spam messages in the past 12 hours alone sent to that
address, and that's after some pretty good filters...

Cheers,
Mit Rowe
