Another possible option is to request the users to create a separate id for
all their

ids like this
foo+arch@xxxxxxxxx <foo%2Barch@xxxxxxxxx>
<foo%2Barch@xxxxxxxxx<foo%252Barch@xxxxxxxxx>
foo+ilugc@xxxxxxxxx <foo%2Bilugc@xxxxxxxxx>
<foo%2Bilugc@xxxxxxxxx<foo%252Bilugc@xxxxxxxxx>
foo+personal@xxxxxxxxx <foo%2Bpersonal@xxxxxxxxx> <
foo%2Bpersonal@xxxxxxxxx <foo%252Bpersonal@xxxxxxxxx>>
foo+formal@xxxxxxxxx <foo%2Bformal@xxxxxxxxx>
<foo%2Bformal@xxxxxxxxx<foo%252Bformal@xxxxxxxxx>>
etc
All these are the same ID. basically its foo@xxxxxxxxx GMail ignores + and
whatever after that. Ideal thing is to create bar@xxxxxxxxx which are
exclusively for lists(No address book entries in them) and link it with
foo@xxxxxxxxx( Personal with contacts). GMail gives you option of both
sending and receiving in foo ID itself.(Any mail with IMAP/forwarding
support for that matter i guess) So even if the person is happy to share
password of personal ID to xyz.com for what-so-ever, lists dont get spammed.
