You can find a discussion about it in the archives
(well, actually, you
can't).
Which reminds me..
The archive have never come back to http://www.classiccmp.org/lists.html
Ah, which archives are we speaking of? The CCTalk archives?
If so, I've been hosting an 'un-official' copy of the archives from March
'97
to January '05 here:
http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/cctalk/
and they should be in Google by now.
I do have copies here of the archives from February '05 to Oct '14 (partial),
which were wiped out in the big list failure last fall (I forget where I got
them from), but they are not on-line. I think there was some talk of them
coming back at the main site, but if that's not going to happen, I'd be happy
to add them to the collection here.
The actual conversion from mail archives to web pages (for the '97 to '05
archives) was performed by john_a_s2004 at hotmail.com (thanks, John!), and I
don't have the code to do the transmogrification. I had enquired about doing
the rest of the archives, but I didn't hear back.
If there is significant interest in having them online too, I _could_ write
new code to spit out the relevant HTML message and index files. Should I do
so?

The posting email addresses are only slightly disguised and could be harvested
by spammers. Would it be possible to filter them a bit better before they are
found?
(The email addresses which I exclusively use with cctech & cctalk receive next
to zero spam at the moment and I would hate that to change.)

for example
All they'd have to do is pull down the .zip files, which is what I just did to fill
in
the couple years that I didn't pull down from the archive.
and IA has snapshots for that URL going back years.

Over the last five years, my filters have rejected just 46 spams directed to
the email addresses I used to post to this list and another 6 made it through.
There have been none at all since April 2013. It sppears most spammers can't
be bothered to or can't even manage to download zip files and unzip them.
Email addresses with minimal protection on non-https web pages are much more
likely to be within range of the average spammers skill set.

I sent Al a link to my google drive copy of the archives thru 2012.
I am going to create a 2012-2015 manually from my email archive of the
group and add that.
If you send email, i'll send you the link to my google drive public archive.
thanks
