No, it's piracy. Quoting a letter from the list for a specific purpose is one thing. Joining the list and posting what are essentially the archives somewhere else is piracy. Among other things, it could be violating copyright laws. For another, many of these "gateway" sites post advertising to make money from their stolen archives, and they also open e-mail addresses in the archives up to being collected by spammers. If you find the site again, it should be turned in to ibiblio for prosecution.

One day while searching & surfing, I found NAFEXlist postings on another
website. (I don't recall whether it was the day's digest, or the archive.)
I figured this was normal. It's not?

Sorry to post this to the list, but I can't find Greg's address. I
just got subscription requests for some of the interest group lists
from "lists@nabble.com" On checking, I found that nabble.com joins
lists and then posts the archives on their site. For some, this is
good publicity, but it could also be construed as piracy. You should
be aware of it, depending on how you feel about having the archives
lifted and put on someone else's site.
