Of course not. You can make an archive of any distribution list just
subscribing to the list with an achiver adress. Have a look to
http://listes.cru.fr/arc/mhonarc(_at_)rosat(_dot_)mpe-garching(_dot_)mpg(_dot_)de/
 as an
example.  We don't have any way to day to be sure that nobody send
directly mails to the archiver adress so the archive can contain
mail that was not distributed by the list. Any solution to this ?

Sure, just put a fiulter check at the head of the archive address
(procmail is ideal for this), and have it ensure that the incoming
post *looks* like it came from the list with the requisite Sender: etc 
lines.
