[opensuse] Remove old message in opensuse mailing list?
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. -- Roger Oberholtzer

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.

I believe some were removed from the old system due to GDPR, not sure what's possible with the new one. But our mailing lists are archived to a number of different sites most of which we don't control so you would have to find and contact each one. If you contact admin@opensuse.org they may be able to help you atleast with the archive under our control. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

It makes me wonder if you have created an infinite loop. You discussed the company and they want you to sanitize. Now you have discussed that the company wants you to sanitize and they'll want you to sanitize that too and so on... :-)

Damon Register This is a perfect Streisand effect. Thought the same reading it.
