Most lists seem to display the real address anyway so I am not sure how much 
this obfuscation step really helps:

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

"Mailman-Users list run by barry at python.org, brad at python.org, mm-admin05 
at equinephotoart.com"

I doubt that spammers are incapable of automating searches for "foo @ 
domain.name".
