If you've got a database mapping arbitrary number/name/string to an email address, then why not just have a web form that sends mail to that address knowing only the arbitrary value (and never divulge the email address)?
Basically, what I'm proposing. And I'm more and more convinced it's the right way to do this, for all that web forms are less personal than sending email directly. I think admins have to make themselves accessible. I don't think they have to make themselves accessible on the user's terms... Another of those tradeoffs.
I was meaning the archives. We have a database describing lists, so we can handle that.
