LISTSERV doesn't provide a mechanism for requiring X days of list membership.

The only way I can think of to do this is (as Pete suggests) 2 lists.

Mainlist:

Notebook= Yes,.....,Owner,(LIST2)

You have to manually add to LIST2 the address of anybody you want to allow
access to the archives of MAINLIST.  LIST2 has no mail traffic or archives of
it's own, it is merely used as a permission mechanism.
