[UCIMC-Tech] Paypal List

[Mike Lehman]

  Who? Just me, AFAIK, at this point, but I've turned off getting 
notices to myself. It originally was simply a means to notify Finance 
and fiscally sponsored groups when Paypal funds arrived. Over the years, 
whatever hack applied to send the email notifications became obsolete 
and we gradually got to the point where most Paypal funds did not 
generate a proper notice when submitted.

The info on it, even when it worked, was all duplicated inside our 
Paypal account, so it is no actual consequence to Finance. And our 
fiscally sponsored groups haven't used it in some time.

What's happened is the any email with "paypal" as part of the address 
attracts lazy scammers, who think that they're finally going to find a 
sap at the other end of the line, despite ten of thousands of previous 
attempts at exactly the same thing having failed. There no way that it's 
worth moderating the 1,000s of spams to find the one or two legitimate 
notifications that are valid.

It needs to have the archive preserved, but to quit accepting any new mail.
