remove my messages
I'll try to explain this a little more politely than another poster.
This is a mailing list. You send mail to the mailing list, the mailing
list software sends it on to the list subscribers, and at that point, the
mailing list software on postfix.org (this "site"), is done with it and
deletes it. In other words, it was deleted from postfix.org within seconds
of you sending it.
However, subscribers, which includes some archiving websites independent
of postfix.org, are free to do with it as they please. Getting it removed
from every place that received it is a near impossibility. I suppose it is
possible to request the archiving site to remove them but that's not done
by sending an email to this mailing list. Whether they will is an entirely
different matter. Meanwhile, I suspect some subscribers maintain their own
prvate archives.
Think of this as being like you printed a flier and distributed it on a
street corner. Once people took some, you really can't go back and tell
people to destroy them. You don't know who has them and even if you did,
now that they're in their hands, you can't tell them what to do with them.
