Not without code modification. If you haven't put
ARCHIVER_OBSCURES_EMAILADDRS = No in mm_cfg.py, the archive should
already have addresses like user_at_host_fqdn, but that's all we do
(note that we do it in sigs and in message bodies too). If you want
more than this, you have to look at all the places in
Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py where ARCHIVER_OBSCURES_EMAILADDRS is
referenced and modify the obfuscation to do what you want. Then you
would rebuild the archive with 'bin/arch --wipe' to apply your mods to
the existing archive.

I'd go with passwords and a private archive :-)
