Why don't you just make the archives Private, with only list members allowed
access?
Anyway, while I haven't tried it, have you done something like this in httpd.conf:
<Directory /archives/public/nameoflist/>
Order allow,deny
AllowOverride None AuthConfig
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Mailman _nameoflist_ Archives"
AuthUserFile /path/to/some/file/with/passwords
require valid-user
</Directory>
I am wondering how you will manage the passwd file though....
