Archives are stored as files.  To get a list of those files, issue the
LISTSERV command:

INDEX listname

to the [log in to unmask]

Then, using those abstracted resultes, do a GET on each one (these can be
issued as multiple commands in one JOB):

GET listname LOGnnnnn

If they are obsessive enough to want the entire archives, then they
should be of sufficient aptitude to do the INDEX/GETs.
