It's the same with most mailing lists -- it's not the 
person
who subscribes, it's the email address.

Your mailing list messages could be archived *anywhere*,
not just at freelists.org. Most archiving software 
removes
or mangles addresses in the headers, but they don't all 
do
the same for addresses in the message body.

Solutions:
* Encourage your subscribers to avoid email signatures
  with the complete address, eg: substitute [AT] for @ 
* Ask them not to quote other people's addresses in 
replies.

If you don't want robots to index your freelists.org 
archives,
you can set a password for access.
