Sympa MLM archives are protected by a cookie. This cookie is sent to anyone
acknoledging a simple form (method post) saying "i'm not a spammer". Currently no
harvester accept cookies nor post forms.
You can test it with a sample : http://listes.cru.fr/wws/arc/sympa-users
Removing emails from messages headers in archives (using mhonarc nospam option)
is not saqfe enough because there is a lot of emails in the message body
(signature etc).
