I am on a mailing list where one of the requirements is to never have a
publicly accessible archive, nor to re-publish any of the messages on
that list to a public forum (without explicit permission of the author).
If that was known to you before you made the archive (such as in that
welcome message that everyone deletes :) then the list owner was well
right in kicking you off the list.

The list in question that I am on, there is a private archive available
to all list subscribers, however.

On a public mailing list (like kplug-list or bugtraq) then I see no
reason at all to respect a DO NOT ARCHIVE header or footer. If you don't
want it archived, don't post it.
