Hey, not trying to sound bent out of shape and all that, and it's too bloody
late now, but I just wanted to note that if I had realized that my email
address was going to be reposted on a publicly accessible Web site and in a
non-protected form, then I never would have dared to peek at this mailing
list.
Already mentioned that it's too late, but I'd still like to have my email
address expunged. I had been wondering why the new spam was coming through
this routing, and I don't want to waste more time dealing with it. And I am
not amused to discover that ASRG was probably the source of the leak.
I have been getting some spam at this email address as well since
participating in the group. However, this address was exposed in at least
one other place, so I don't know for sure.
The program used for archiving the lists is MHonArc, which has an anti-spam
module (see http://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/doc/resources/spammode.html).
Perhaps the administrators can turn it on in order to make sure that
addresses are not being harvested. The IETF mail administrator can be
reached at mailadm(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org (from https://www1.ietf.org/maillist.html) and
the person that handles our list is Jakob Munoz who can be reached at
jmunoz(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org (from https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/asrg). GNU
MailMan, which handles the actual mailing list, might have anti-spam
features as well. Alas, for all we know that could be spammers on the list
as well who want revenge, also I highly doubt it.
On the last note, consider this little gem from the IETF's spam control
policy page (https://www1.ietf.org/spamcontrol.html):
"The Anti-Spam Research Group of the IRTF is ignored by all policies to
prevent interruption of service."
