Surely you're not serious. At the end of this message are the subject and
date headers of all the messages ever sent to security-fyi. The majority
of them have been about generic vulnerability announcements that affect
software that is not particular to MIT. Even the original announcement of
the list didn't appear to contain anything that is MIT-specific:
---
This is intended to be a broadcast-only list used by Information
Systems to make subscribers aware of new threats, security-oriented
user tools, and related news. It is intended to be a low-traffic
list.
---
This is not to say that I think there shouldn't be a list that is internal
to MIT and closed to outsiders, but this doesn't seem to be the one. If
there is a different intent for this list than the one I'm seeing, feel
free to bring it to my attention.
