Re: spam on the webdav list

    For lists like the ones expressed so for, our local archive was
      created by subscribing an address to the external list. Such
      addresses have been susceptible to receiving spam directly, so our
      copy of the archive accrued messages that were never set to the
      original list. When this has happened, it's typically been to a
      list where real traffic stopped accumulating years ago. In more
      recent years, we have stressed having IETF hosted lists for IETF
      work.

    
    We do have a mechanic for moving such spam messages away, in an
      manner that leaves a clear record of what happened. When such
      puddles are discovered, sending a note to ietf-action@xxxxxxxx
      about them is reasonable.

          No.
           
          Editing archives is a slippery slope,
            don’t go there.
