[GLLUG] Mail server showing results in search engine.

[Charles Ulrich]

Yes, all of the messages to the GLLUG mailing list are publicly 
archived here: http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/public/linux-user/ The 
mailing list software (mailman) minimally obfuscates the senders' email 
addresses somewhat. But the link you posted was to an attachment to a 
message, which mailman doesn't scan for addresses. I'm not concerned, I 
have a good spam filter.

And if this could be fixed or removed, there would still be copies out 
there on The Internet forever, at places like archive.org and probably 
various third-party mailing list archives. I once heard it said that 
trying to get something off the Internet is like trying to get pee out 
of a swimming pool. Once it's in there, it's in there. :)
