Barry, is this possible? Is this a good enough reason to remove a message from a mailing list? Is this something we can add to the LOSA FAQ? LOSAs: Yes, I think this is a good enough reason. A third party posted someone else's personal information accidentally. rm the list. copy: ..../var/mailman/mhonarc/bit-team.backup-2010-04-19.tgz

Hi Dan,

The mailing list archive is a shared resource with the team and project. We do not delete such artifacts without a compelling reason.

As to making it private, we don't provide private mailing lists for open projects.

Hi,

I'm the team owner and I forward to the mailing list (by mistake) a mail that supposed to be private.
I see no other way to remove it. If this is not a good reason than too bad to me.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Generally, we don't take down archive postings, but if there really is a privacy leak we'll sometimes do so. Please post the url to the exact message you want taken down and we'll evaluate it. Thanks!

Hi,

In the message: https://lists.launchpad.net/bit-team/msg00273.html
I forward a mail that I received, that mail contains full informations about the person who send it to me.
The content can be public but not his personal informations.
If you can remove them it should be great.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan, I think this is a good enough reason to remove the posting. Assigning to Launchpad admins.

*bump*
I just contacted Dan because the mail is still online. I am the one who originally wrote the email Dan forwarded.

@Barry Warsaw: I hope you can remove the message and/or the archived version from your system as it contains my private address, mobile phone number and so on. If you think it is necessary I can mail you a scan of my personal ID card.

Sincerely,

Eike

Ah. Purge removed the list from launchpad. mhonarc had a disk cache. I assigned the issues back to an admin who can delete the files,
