I was on a private eGroups list and we found out the hard way that it is
possible for non-subscribed people to read the list archives. All they
have to do is send in a subscribe command. Even if the listowner rejects
it, they can still read the archives. I do host some other lists there
where the information would be of no use to anyone who decided to
eavesdrop, but I will not host a list there where anything sensitive is
to be discussed. I realize that there are no guarantees of absolute
privacy on the net, but some lists are more private than others.
