There is a little bit more to it than that. You have to set a reasonable
value for HTTP_REFERER inside marc-search. This code snippet should
explain what I did. (I'm sorry that it is not in diff -u form, but I
don't have the original source and I am too lazy to go looking for it.)

use Marc::Form;
my $query = new Marc::Form; # Create search object
# ERIK: 2000-04-23 commented out the following two lines and set H_R
# to a default so that I could continue to use Junkbuster with no
# problems.
# $query->error("Sorry, your client needs to set HTTP_REFERER")
# unless defined $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};
$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}='http://www.linux-gull.ch/mail/maillist.html'
unless defined $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};
$query->doc_root($doc_root);

By the way, most mail archive sites I come across have given up on
marc-search and are using htdig instead. We've found that marc-search is
a bit of a pig on resources and un-usable on under-powered machines (Sparc
2s).
