I thought I'd run by everybody the novel concept of anti-spam encoding email addresses in portfiles. For all other cases we could obfuscate the address, but with Portfiles we're sortof stuck, since we need to be able to make these available in raw form in various places (svn, mpwa, etc). What if we adopt the convention in the maintainer field of using user/ domain instead of user@domain. I have a feeling the spambots won't find that, and it's pretty easy to recognize as a user (or to reconstitute as a machine). So to be completely clear, I propose that we would encode my email address (jberry@macports.org) as jberry/macports.org Feedback? James
