For lists like the ones expressed so for, our local archive was created 
by subscribing an address to the external list. Such addresses have been 
susceptible to receiving spam directly, so our copy of the archive 
accrued messages that were never set to the original list. When this has 
happened, it's typically been to a list where real traffic stopped 
accumulating years ago. In more recent years, we have stressed having 
IETF hosted lists for IETF work.

We do have a mechanic for moving such spam messages away, in an manner 
that leaves a clear record of what happened. When such puddles are 
discovered, sending a note to ietf-action@ietf.org about them is reasonable.
