Our IT security guys just asked me to remove/sanitize a message that I posted on the openSUSE mailing list back in 2017. How they came across this message is mysterious. But I did post some stuff about the company ADS that I was trying to access from openSUSE/samba. I don't remember the specific details of the problem, and I do not think it was ever solved. No matter. I thought I was usually pretty careful about sensitive details in posts. Seems not always...
Is it possible to remove messages that were posted? As it provides no solution and is rather old, I cannot see that it is especially useful anyway.
I think you have to open a ticket. Just mail to "admin@opensuse.org" from the same mail address you use on bugzillas, and make sure it is marked private (you get a link in the reply email). I think you can login to the ticket with the same credentials as used on bugzilla. Then add details about what exactly you want to remove from the mail archive. It is a manual procedure, someone with access has to find time to edit the archive (if possible, I think it is). Of course, anyone that receives and archives the mail list will keep a copy of the original text (me, for instance; that year, at least two or three copies plus backups :-p). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
