Well, some joe job porn spam on l.d.o is the #1 result when
googling for
her name, so she is quite right to contact the list on whose
archive it is.

If the one thing keeping us from deleting list spam (which I
found out
after reporting entire months of d-devel spam) is the
indexing and thus
linking, I'd happily try to come up with a patch that makes
mhonarc deal
with the gaps.
I'm not particularly interested to code things (and perl at
that) just
for rotting and being mentioned as obscure patches on some
BoFs, though,
and I have no aspirations to become a listmaster. I'm just
bothered by
the spam in our list archive and would prefer to do
something about it,
so I'd volunteer to help in order to not bother the
listmasters too much
with it.

Kind regards

T.

The result of a quick test that seems to be going in the
right direction
is at[1], the files taken from l.d.o being at [2].

- seems to work at least when using "updatemail
-f"
- fairly straightforward (diff is about two dozen lines in
my rusty
  perl)
- uses a file of the format as the spam report log in order
to read a
  list of spam messages to skip when constructing web
indices
  (probably leaves room for efficiency improvements)
- does not change the mbox files, only changes the generated
indices
- no detection yet in updatemail whether the archive should
be updated
  because the spam list changed

Kind regards
