[cobalt-security] Old post archiving proposal

[Bruce Timberlake <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is my intention to import all messages from 
cobalt-*@list.cobalt.com  into cobalt-*@lists.qbalt.com lists 
sometime next week. I will grab a final snapshot of each list Friday 
afternoon -- hopefully just before Craig turns off the server... :)

I also plan to alter the mailman-added headers and/or footers on each 
message to change all instances of list.cobalt.com to 
lists.qbalt.com, so that each message's footer will properly point to 
the new archive location. No other content in the messages will be 
removed or altered.

I will also make every effort to strip out personal email addresses in 
the message headers... basically anything in the form of 
<blah@xxxxxxxxxxx> will be replaced with the appropriate list email 
address: <cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, etc.  I will *not* be 
altering email addresses in the bodies of the messages, as there are 
many with "legit" addresses used as examples, etc. and picking 
through them all would take way too much time.

If anyone does not want their old posts included in the qbalt 
archives, it will be a whole lot easier if you let me know now before 
we do the importing. Please send me an email offlist stating your 
desire to have old posts removed from the "new" archives.  I will not 
be selectively editing posts - either all your posts to all lists are 
included, or they are all excluded.
