If you visit the archives you will notice that the software obscures 
addresses. If you click on an active email address to send someone a note, 
it will show up as epub@xxxxxxxxxxxxx . If you send a note to that 
address,  you will get this reply:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<epub@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    (reason: 550 Host unknown)

I don't know how that could be harvested. If you know, let me know.
