A mailing list is an electronic discussion forum that anyone can subscribe to. When someone sends an email message to the mailing list, a copy of that message is broadcast to everyone who is subscribed to that mailing list. Mailing lists are the primary means of communication for people working on Apache projects.
HEADS UP!
A message sent to a public mailing list cannot be unpublished. Although we might be able to modify our own mail archives, the message is mirrored to a lot of other archiving systems which we do not have under control. Therefore almost 100% of all delete requests are denied. Please make sure you do not send any potential sensitive information to the mailing list, including passwords, server names, ips and so on. {:.alert .alert-block .alert-error}
You can read the ASF Mail or the Pony Mail archives if you are looking for older discussions. There are many other archives out there as well.
