There's just about zero probability that anyone at procmail.org or
rwth-aachen.de is gatewaying this list. gmane just grabs mailing lists
without asking first. A list manager has to find out that gmane is doing it
to that list and to ask them to stop and to remove their existing archives;
then they will, I'm told, with great reluctance and amid protestations that
they can't imagine why anyone would decline their valuable service. It's
strictly opt-out with them and they claim they see nothing wrong with that.
Yup, he's equally unhelpful about getting an individual's postings out of
his newsbase. Has a curious interpration of No in X-No-Archive. I view him
as one step up the evolutionary ladder from the pond-life known as
spammers.
For the moment I have X-Archie: expiry=0 in the headers. At least that
means No.
