**Can the archive be disabled or protected?**

The archiving of a list can't be disabled.  Please read about our mission and purpose and try to understand that your archives are important to the community.  They aren't a privacy risk -- we obfuscate all email addresses to circumvent the SPAMmer-crawling-the-site problem.

If you feel that the information your subscribers post on the list shouldn't be publicly available in the archives, please consider the following:

  * Email isn't by itself a secure medium.  Should you be using email at all for these things?
  * Anonymity can certainly be important, but this has nothing to do with archived emails.  
  * If you wish to keep information private, perhaps FreeLists isn't the best fit for your group?

While we used to offer a means of setting a password on archives, this feature is now disabled as it was being used too widely.  Keep in mind that FreeLists can't survive without open, free access.
