I’m not so sure that’s accurate.

If you post on a public list that you subscribed to with a well known public web-searchable archive, you consent to the general public disclosure of your email address and have pretty much put it in the public domain. Anyone who has posted to more than one such list with the same address would have a very hard time proving which list was the source of disclosure for such unauthorized use even if they had a valid claim that it wasn’t a permitted use of the information.

I think that wouldn’t so much be a matter of DPA or GDPR violation as a matter of list AUP violation.
