This is not a "social" problem.  I have 6 years of archives.  I run
my LISTSERV on a voluntary contribution basis.  Many of my
subscribers WANT searchable archives, unfortunately only SOME of them
are willing to contribute.  So I want to make the search function
available to only those that contribute.  I don't mind if they
manually go through the  archives.  In fact, many of them are
nomail/web based readers.  What I don't want them to do is be able to
search them unless they are contributors.  I can alter the web
template and remove the search link, but stopping them through email
will be more difficult.

Will I be able to do a "list exit"?
