You can use with mailman external programs to create archives.
Or (what I've done) in a crontab launch mhonarc (the archiver) using
the files created by mailman in mbox format with all emails in it.
(and set mailman not to do archives by itself).
I always use Mailman. I never use Pipermail and I have clean
archives (the search part is handled by htdig since archives pages
are just plain html).
Hope that helps.
Patrick.
