 Right now by far the most mailman owner traffic I get has to do with
 people trying to maliciously subscribe other people to the tor-reports
 list.

 For context, there are 7462 pending tor-report subscription attempts
 currently. And there are dozens of new ones each day.

 (These are not real people. There are jerks on the internet who try to
 subscribe victims to mailing lists, and one of these groups of jerks
 picked the tor-reports list as one of the ways they do it. It's been going
 on for years.)

 So, I can handle the extra mailman spam -- it's a bit of a nuisance, but
 whatever.

 But I feel bad that dozens of new people each day around the internet are
 getting their first introduction to the tor project in the form of "are
 you sure? reply to confirm" mails from our mailman for a list they know
 and care nothing about.

 I don't want to take away the archives from the world:
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-reports/
 because they are useful for posterity.

 But I want to destroy everything else about the list.
