On the original problem, I see now that http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=166028 is a good place to refer people wanting to antispam archives. I'm not sure why I didn't see it before. Must be blind. I probably should add my reasoning (debian lists have other archives and there are probably collector-bots subscribed too).

Do you review all listmaster@ mail (that is, a spam filter doesn't delete it, just tags it)? I encourage people who use spam filters on official task addresses to set up some sort of record of what got trapped. I see you already have a http://people.debian.org/~pasc/dda-feb.mbox for one time. > Most requests are still taken care of however; you'll only hear about > those that are not taken care of. Indeed.

It looks rather like delegates are silently failing to answer email anyway. Maybe the DPL team will consider doing some "mystery shopper" tests of any delegates they've not heard from yet? > [1]: I have to admit that I don't reply to people asking for messages to > be removed and/or altered on the listarchives.

I guess the proper thing is to point people to the policy at http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#disclaimer and leave it at that. If they come back with "that's a stupid policy" then suggest that they try to develop a change and build consensus for it. -- MJ Ray (slef), K.
