Lurker is going End of Life
For years, we've had a system named Lurker that displayed the archives for 
our mailing lists, well, we are actually keeping the archives for the mailing 
lists in two places.  On Lurker, and on mailman itself.  So, we've decided to 
End of Life the lurker machine, in favor of the mailman system.

The most common place that links to lurker directly is inside of the 
notification emails that are sent to malware submitters when coverage is 
written as well as the clamav-virusdb list when the db updates are pushed.

We plan on brining lurker down and changing the links in the alert emails on 
Friday, May 22, 2015.

Please be patient with us as we remove this system from the ClamAV network.

The most important part of lurker for me was the ability to easily search for 
signature names to determine when they were first posted.  This is usually a 
clue as to whether a detection is a potential false positive (new signatures 
are obviously more suspect).  Admittedly the search routine isn’t perfect, but 
given time, I can normally find what I’m looking for.

Does the mailman system allow such searches and how to I access the archives?
