lists.kde.org used to be an alias for marc.info. The sysadmins had to 
change this because they could not comply with requests for removal 
(because they have no control over marc.info).

lists.kde.org URLs now either redirect to our own archives (if they 
exist) or to MARC. http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-pim redirects to MARC. 
The problem is that the "kde-pim Archives" link points to mailman's 
standard archive location at http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-pim/. 
Unfortunately, this cannot redirect to http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-pim 
because "lists.kde.org is a redirector to mail.kde.org" (cyclic 
redirect).

The sysadmins suggested as correct fix to:
<quote>
a) Enable local archiving
b) Populate historical postings from someone's personal archives. David 
Faure managed to sort out MarkMail with quite a few mailing lists, so I 
imagine mboxes are available with a fairly detailed history in places.

This will have to be done on a list by list basis.

Alternatively, do what I've done for the kdepim-users list, i.e. 
manually point to the external archive. (See 
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-users)
