It’s a bit problematic to delete messages from mailman archive, i’ve rather replaced the problematic message with ‘— Message deleted —‘ text.
But then, i checked other messages and it seems there was a bunch of this spam/virus emails on the list for the past few months. We don’t do any antispam filtering on the server, so the real solution is to either do antispam ( which could have false positives ) or moderate the lists ( either the messages or the accounts).

  I just had a look through the archive, there’s nothing of value in the last 2 years. Let’s set it read only, with the following bounce message:
  
  Hi there!
  
  We don’t use this mailing list for testing anymore, but you’re absolutely welcome to post your feedback over on our Alpha/BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. Support ForumSupport Forum WordPress Support Forums is a place to go for help and conversations around using WordPress. Also the place to go to report issues that are caused by errors with the WordPress code and implementations. < https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta >.
  
  Thank you for testing WordPress!
