Two points :

1. Mailman will do this for us if we tell it to , that way we don't have to arrange for your code to be run
via cron on each achived message.

2. If you do your regexes with an x on the end (s///x) you can spread them out and put in comments.
e.g. s/
	\b               # start with a word boundary
	[\w|\-|\_|\.]+   # match the bit before the @ , any alphas and - _ or .
        \@               # match the @
        ([\w|\-|\_]+\.)+# match the domain name and trailling dot and capture
        [a-zA-Z]{2,}  # match tlds 
        \b                # end on word boundary
       /
        [email_removed] # replace with this
       /xg;                # allow comments to be added , run this untill it matches no more.

     Hopefully my comments might have pointed out a the two problems with that regex.
