We've recently migrated our mailing list servers to sympa. We started with
6.1.16 source tarball. Thanks for this project.

Now we realized a vulnerability which allow anonymous access to private lists.
To reproduce, please follow this url (we've got from someone on twitter having
fun on that, which is embarrassing):

https://t.co/931C0fv2

It links straight to a message from a private archive list, which can be seen
by everyone without login, and once there, you can navigate also to other
messages in the same month.

If you walk-in into de mail list archive without login, you're unable to do
so.

In short, by just having a link to a mail archive, you're able to see that
message as well as many others, So doesn't seem the expected behaviour right?

By looking into already known security advices
(http://www.sympa.org/security_advisories), it seems that the last similar
vulnerability was fixed on 6.1.11, but we are on 6.1.16.

Thanks,
Ramon.
