google indexes the mailman archives of this list - so you can search the archive using google (include "site:mailman.xmission.com" in your search terms to restrict the results to pages at xmission)
does that mean the spammers can then get it with crawlers?

i've recently had a surge in spam (from nothing! to multiple a week increasing) and trying to determine where the address got out.
Yeah, probably from the archives. I think mailman has options to garble/remove emails from the web archive versions - it might be worth asking lazlo to enable this... -- "God not only plays dice, he also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen." - Steven Hawking
