List archive?
I have a question that this list solved a year ago, and I can't remember what the solution was. Does this list have an archive? (Sorry if it is on one of the links to the list, but I don't have any on hand at the moment.) -- Patrice Olivier-Wilson http://biz-comm.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

Re: MySQL Searchable Mailing List Archive now up.
This is a very very good search engine for the mailing list!!! Great work Two things: 1- Is it possible to remove our full email adresses?

Glad you like it. : I am a complete newbie to MySQL, and have a VERY BASIC question: In the future, Peter, please direct questions to the MySQL list, and not to me personally. Thanks! - How do I go into the db and clear and/or edit what has been written to it thus far? Maybe you can point me in a useful direction to learn about the basics of MySQL? The MySQL manual, either on-line (http://www.mysql.com/doc/) or in the distribution you got, is *very* good. Take a bit of time to get to know it. For a basic start on logging-in, and inserting and deleting data, take a look at the tutorial in the manual, Chapter 3 Introduction to MySQL: A MySQL Tutorial. I am now looking at a nice summary on developer shed right now, which gives me a basic intro. The stuff on DevShed is generally quite good. It's a good resource.

Let me explain why: To the best of my knowledge, Email harvesting 'bots (spambots) use technology similar to that used by the big web search engines.

The spambots do basically the same thing -- they gather up web pages. They, however, simply extract anything that looks like an email address. These lower-than-pond-scum then add that to their database (350 MILLION TARGETTED EMAIL ADDRSSES FOR ONLY $399.00!) and lie that you 'opted-in' or 'expressed an interest.' Fortunately, search engine page gatherers and spambots can access only 'static' html pages that exist on a server and can be searched. The pages you see when you search the email archive are safe from 'bots because they don't even _exist_ until you ask for them -- they're generated on-the-fly, on demand, and they're sent directly to your computer. The content of the archive is visible only to the person doing the search. So, it's a 99% solution. There's still the chance that an unscrupulous person could go to the effort of doing an archive search in the hopes of getting some email addresses to spam, but that's simply not their style; that's too much like legitimate work. Pirating email addresses is 'profitable' (I guess) if they let a computer do all the work; it's not if a person has to write them down or type them in. There are places that DO put the contents of mailing lists up on the web on static, searchable pages. You should be aware of them so you can make better-informed decisions, and thereby have more control over where your address appears. One site with the MySQL list is http://dbforums.com/f114/. Or try, for example, http://www.mail-archive.com/dbi-users@perl.org/msg06361.html For an interesting exercise, you should try going to www.google.com, or your favourite search engine, and doing a web search on your email address and/or your phone number. The hits you get on that search are the prime places where spambots are getting your email address from. I truly believe we're safe, though I'd love to hear more comments.

Netscrap 4.78 oops sorry mispelled that one..
