I own several lists running under LISTSERV version 1.8a on VM.
 
Sometimes a new list is "tested" before subscriptions are generally opened.
Assuming that notebooks were turned on during the testing period, how could
they be wiped out so that no one can retrieve either the notebooks (via GET)
or the individual postings (via the database facility)? If this is something
that a list owner can't do, what would the local LISTSERV postmaster have to
do to accomplish this?
 
Complicating things a bit more, assume that a list is current in service and
an inappropriate message (e.g. an undetected spam) is posted. How could the
list owner (or, if necessary, the local LISTSERV postmaster) do the
following?
 
1. Prevent that message from appearing in the current digest (assuming the
that no digest has been sent out since the inappropriate message was posted?
 
2. Prevent that message from appearing in the current index (assuming the
that no index has been sent out since the inappropriate message was posted?
 
3. Remove that message from the notebook in which it appears?
 
4. Prevent that message from being found or retrieved through the database
facility?
