Hi,
Since the list is private, I would tend to think it makes sense for the
archive to be private. Although I would tend to honor the request of anyone
with an MIT address to be added to the archive acl.
If we don't want to make the archive private, then perhaps the list should
be made a mailman list, spam filtering enabled, and the old spam removed
from the archive.
I can accept either choice, but think doing nothing is unacceptable.
Paul

No, I don't see any reason for having it publicly viewable....Brian

Hi,
It has just been pointed out to me that the archive of the kakapo
mailing
list is publicly viewable, but I notice that the list itself is defined
to
be private.
Stopit received a complaint about the archive because it contains
archives
of porn spam in addition to the non-spam mail. Someone external to MIT
found
the links to the archived porn spam.
Is there any reason to continue to make the archive publicly viewable
and
searchable?
Paul
