Hi: I think the issue that brought this forward, that is offending spam
in the archive, suggests that Paul's second suggestion is the right
action. Convert this to a Mailman list with spam filtering enabled
and try and get around to purging offending spam from the older archive
is the right suggestion.

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.

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
