Hi Raf,
for non-specialists, it is perhaps not obvious that the contact point for the
list archive website is itself a publicly archived mailing list…
The message that the user pointed out is definitely a spam that can be removed
if enough persons push the « Report as spam » button and enough DDs confirm the
removal (see http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/ListArchiveSpam ).
For the later disclosure of email address on debian-www@lists.debian.org, I
think that it is a misfeature on our side. Given the footer on our website,
quoted below, we can not oppose our disclaimer as usual
(http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#disclaimer) because there is no link to
it, nor expect senders to take proper measures to protect their address.
To report a problem with the web site, e-mail debian-www@lists.debian.org.
For other contact information, see the Debian contact page.
Could the footer be changed to something like the following ?
To report a problem with the web site, contact us on our publicly archived
mailing list <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/";>debian-www@lists.debian.org</a>.
For other contact information, see the Debian contact page.
PS: the mailto URL to debian-www in the current footer is broken
(http://www.debian.org/mailto:debian-www@lists.debian.org). I can report it as
a proper bug if needed.
Have a nice day,
