Preferably in a directory of my choosing (ie. in >/home/mailman/archives/ rather than in /var/lib/mailman/archives/)?
The paths to the private and public archives directories are set by the definitions of PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR and PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR. These are set in Defaults.py with PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'public') PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'private') but can be overridden in mm_cfg.py with say PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = '/home/mailman/archives/public' PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = '/home/mailman/archives/private' These paths will need to exist with appropriate group and mode - Mailman's group for all three and mode 2775 for archives and archives/public and mode 2771 for archives/private. In addition you need the directories /home/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME/ and /home/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/ with Mailman's group and mode 2775 for each list. I'm not sure if you need the file /home/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME/index.html or not. I don't think so, and it will be overwritten with the first post anyway. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
