Hi all
Reading my earlier email again, I can see that I need to be a bit clearer.
Members who receive emails from ECCOtalk can see the full email addresses of
the senders.
An outsider can also see emails sent to ECCOtalk if they find the Archive. But
outsiders can only see incomplete versions of the email addresses.
If anyone wants to hide their email address more thoroughly then they can do so
by using 'Dmarc'. I don't know about the pros and cons of this myself, but an
internet search should provide that information.
Mike

Thanks for the techno-savvy. I am adrift but happy to comply with whatever is
most secure. Marguerite

Hi all
My understanding is that 'Dmarc' is something that people who send email can
do. It needs to be paid for (after a free trial).
FreeLists.org does show email addresses when members post to ECCOtalk but the
addresses are incomplete. FreeLists does not enable us to redact email
addresses completely. But using Dmarc does, in effect.
The fact that someone managed to subscribe to ECCOtalk without my acceptance
was a one-off and it is unlikely to happen often. FreeLists have been informed!

Hello all
I notice that some members of this group have their email addresses
hidden with an explanation like
<dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (Redacted sender "xxx" for DMARC)
As the list is visible to people who are not members (and can even
subscribe themselves to it) there is a possibility that all our email
addresses could be copied off and sold to a spammer/virus merchant.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if _all_ our email addresses were redacted?
Chris
