My solution was to set up MHonArc (http://www.mhonarc.org/), running under its own user (e.g. mailarch), and then subscribe maila...@mydomain.com to the Mailman list(s) I wanted to archive. That (along with some lines in the Apache configuration) allowed me to put them behind the same password wall as our web site, and to do a lot of fancy formatting. If you (and the list owner) don't care if the public has access to the archives, however, then one of the solutions suggested below is probably easier. Either way, be sure to turn off the monthly password reminders for the archive user so they won't show up in the archives. And be sure nobody unsubscribes the archive user.
