Hey @berrange,
I'm curious as to how these tools work currently, since the only mbox
archives that Mailman 2.X provides has the email addresses escaped, such
as "user at domain.tld". Would this kind of escaping be OK for the tools
you speak of? I do want to make the spam harvesters' job as hard as can
be.
Another way to do what you're trying to do would be to subscribe an email
address to the list and use POP3 or IMAP to get the emails. This way
you're sure they won't be altered. Opening a POP3 enabled mailbox
somewhere should be pretty easy, and POP3 is an old enough protocol that
it shouldn't be too hard to convert the tools to use it, there's libraries
for it in every language I know.
