Email from Real Networks (real-net.net).

I've been having a little problem with these guys over the last couple of weeks. Basicly they send out an email to a huge number of customers (everybody who every registered their software). The problem is that at over 2000 over the @ihug.co.nz address are no longer active and the emails bounce. I don't care about the above but their machines that handle the bounces are totally overloaded so the bounces hang obout in my outgoing queue slowing things down (until I gave them their own queue entry). Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any luck getting real networks to bulk unsubscribe a few thousand addresses at a time. I don't want to block them or anything since presumably most legit customers who get this email want it. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Having received more feedback hostile to the idea of changing the archive than supportive of it, I have this morning advised Mr. Bamberger that I am not willing at this time to edit the NZNOG list archive. This is for the same reasons I have stated before, that I do not see myself as the owner of the archive and do not accept responsibility for the archives' contents. I do not have any objection to the removal of the name and address of a non-subscriber where that information has no operational use. I have previously said publicly that I am happy to cooperate with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, and I remain happy to do so. My understanding of the law, as has been stated by others on this list, is that jurisdiction flows from who controls a "database", not where it is physically located. I will not associate myself with Joe Abley's archive of this list. This is not because I have any objection to Joe, nor because I doubt his right to hold a copy of the archive. But I do not wish to be placed in a position where I'm obliged under New Zealand law to do something it turns out I'm not in practice able to do. As has also been observed before, it would be helpful if people didn't post material to this list which doesn't need to be here. This list does exist for a purpose. Please bear that in mind when posting.

[having permission to say this on behalf of the UoW ITS department this time: ] Basically, we're going to side with all the others that said editing a post to remove public infomation even once will be starting a precedent we don't want. So: We are not going to be editing anything, nor requiring list owners to excercise any kind of editorial control if they don't wish.

[snip] Nice argument, except for the fact that the list archives are *archives* not a database. If the law considers any website regardless of content as automatically being a database, then the law is stupid and in need of changing. Is an old newspaper considered a database just because it might have information on people? (no, its an archive) no difference here. The list archives are just an automated, electronic version of what librarians have been doing with newspapers for years - archiving articles for future record. If somebody libels you in a newspaper article, can you go around telling all the librarians in the country to cut that page out of their archive version of the newspaper ? I think not. Get a retraction printed in a future edition, yes. I don't see a difference here. Just because technology makes it *possible* to do revisionist censorship of archives doesn't mean we should...and yes, I think Joe Ableys idea is a good one :) Regards, Simon - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

The thing I just threw up is not a mirror of the waikato archive; it is generated quite independently by list mail being received. I seeded it with archive mail I requested from majordomo at waikato, which was subsequently fake-delivered though it was new mail in order to build the archive history. The chances of URLs being equivalent between the two archives are somewhat remote.
