We don't run those.  Those are the official searchable archives, as provided 
by an approved third-party.

You could do the same, if you like.


Alternatively, you might consider using a piece of third-party archive 
software that runs on your own hardware.  That's also discussed in the 
documentation.

Contact the people at mail-archive.com and ask them to provide an external 
third-party archive for your lists.  I don't know, but they might ask you to 
pay them some money, unless you're big enough that they want to provide that 
service to you for free.
