You need to have a robots.txt file in the root of your file system. This will allow you to ask search engines to not crawl the archive. The respectable ones will honor that request.

Deleting from the archive will not achieve what you want, as the archive is rebuilt from the notebooks in the listserv home directory. You need to delete or edit the notebooks to stop the archive from indexing the messages.

best regards,
Larry

I have a user that is upset that one of her emails is viewable via a Google search. It was crawled by Google, legitimately, from an open archive file. At her request I am attempting to have the information removed from the Google search but Google is telling me that the information is still viewable on my server. In my efforts to remove the information from my server I first deleted the email from the archive file, then I deleted the *.ind files. In desperation I deleted all the archive files for that list for the past year yet the information is still viewable.
 
I’m guessing it is cached somewhere but don’t have a clue where that might be. We are running v15.5 on a Solaris box. Can someone point me in the right direction?
