Yes, I personally wrote IPs and domains because I "knew" they where private to this list. Anyone that joined this list can READ them, but list members cannot redistribute or disclose contents directed to the list to anyone else without the consent of the author (at least in Europe). At most they can tell people to join this list. When I subscribed to mailop I didn't understand it was a "public" list (implicitly deduced by the "The current archive is only available to the list members." sentence here: https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop ). I have no issues with public archives (my name on mail-archive report more than 10.000 messages :-) ) but I personally think this list will better serve members if we know there are no public archives (permanent indexed by search engines).
