I'm a mailing list admin; a mail we confidential data has been posted by mistake, how can we remove it?

Hello,

I'm a mailing list admin of 2 moderate traffic mailing lists. On both lists, a mail containing confidential commercial data has been posted by mistake. We would like to remove it before it spread too much on the web.
I prefer not point the exact emails from here (that would highlight the sensible data).
Can you contact back so I give you the id of the message to remove from the list?

My personal email rvalyi at GMail

Waiting for you guys.

I think you are asking to remove a message from an list archive. There is no way to do this from Launchpad. The archiver is mhonarc and if you provide the message ids and the list names I can ask an admin to attempt to remove them (you can send the message directly to me). I do not know for certain that this can be done.

I just got confirmation that messages can be deleted. We need to know the team names and the message id for each team's list.

Hello Curtis, that's a great news you can remove it.
I'll send you the references, but can you provide me a mail where I can send
you the reference of the mail in private?

Thank you very much for your time.

the requested messages have been deleted from the specified archives, though they are still showing up on the web. possibly a caching issue.

Thank you very much, let see if the next cache flush will remove them from
the web indeed.

Can we delete the two problem pages? We could also ask barry if there is a trick to regenerating the pages.

Hello Curtis,

I don't really understand your question, yes you can delete the two pages. I
still see them on the internet despite they might have been removed from the
database. So it looks like it's still in the cache.

Thank you very much for your time.

Sorry. My question is for the admins. A visible page is still a problem and I think an admin needs to delete the page or find the secret to regenerating the archive.
