Those are probably the ones that go directly to the mail list because the person's email address is subscribed to the list. They don't come to the administrators for approval, otherwise, none of those messages would get to the lists. It's the ones who aren't subscribed that get stopped in the filters for approval, and those I just discard, and otherwise ignore. Just go ahead and put in the request to remove them from the Archives at the link provided as Joan already suggested, that's what I always do. Also, sometimes spam messages get sent just to the Administrators address lately, apparently someone is gathering those addresses too. Again, I just delete those from my email just as I would any other junk, and that's as far as it gets.
