In checking this morning on a mail list i help administer which is
archived at mail-archive, i noticed a slew of problems. am wondering
whats up with the status of the archives overall health.

in particular, things i noticed:

1.) no new gossip messages since 10/29. perhaps this is combo of delay
in archiving plus low posting rate.

2.) when i search the archive i administer 

  http://www.mail-archive.com/marxism%40lists.panix.com/

the main index shows no new posts since Oct 31. Is the archiving now
delayed by 5 days?

3.) When i look at the date index for the archive:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/marxism%40lists.panix.com/maillist.html

the output page seems very broken. the last post shown is 10/17, and
after the index reaches back to 09/30, the listing repeats (many)
multiple times.

4.) When i search the archive for marxism list using my name as search
keys, i get only about 24 posts, when i know there are many more than
that in the archives. when i earlier checked the same search i got 19
posts, so the number changed within a half hour of checking. 

when i searched using the name of the list moderator, i found only
about 34 posts, and he truly should have hundreds of posts in the
archive. 

so something seems amiss.

thanks
