	I don't understand your question.  Can you clarify?

	By default, mailing lists created via Mailman will be publicly 
accessible, but the mailing list administrator can choose to create 
private lists instead.  The list archives can either be public or 
private, separately from the list itself (i.e., you can have private 
archives of a public list, or public archives of a private list, in 
addition to the obvious choices).  You can also choose not to archive 
lists.
