Right.  Rules out scrapers, leaving only the subset of bots that will 
wait for and process list subscriptions, and only the posters' email is 
available but not that of other members.

A better solution might be to simply to make it legal to hunt sp at mmers 
for sport.

But until then, there is no way for users to control sp at m other than to 
stop using email.

Worldwide, lackluster enforcement has failed; the sp at mrners have won.
