It the list message archives are Public, then no such machinations are
necessary.  If they are Private  (i.e. in the List Header you have
 * Notebook= Yes,....,....,Private

then the archives are accessible only to current List Subscribers and Server
Adminstrators, each of whom must login with their address-as-subscribed and
their LISTSERV Personal password.  All such accesses (including the originating
IP address) are logged in the LISTSERV-YYYYMMDD.LOG file.  The archives are not
accessible to any others.

No, unless the entire server has been compromised by other means, in which case
nothing is safe, and anything is liable to exposure.
