Summary: ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX=1 broken
Initial Comment:
While looking into an archiving problem on
mail.gnome.org, where we use our own external archiver
(ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX was set to 1), Owen Taylor discovered
the following bug causing it to ignore this setting:
>From /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py:
# ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX
#-1 - do not do any archiving
# 0 - do not archive to mbox, use builtin mailman html
archiving only
# 1 - archive to mbox to use an external archiving
mechanism only
# 2 - archive to both mbox and builtin mailman html
archiving -
# use this to make both external archiving
mechanism work and
# mailman's builtin html archiving. the flat mail
file can be
# useful for searching, external archivers, etc.
ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2
Now, while that's not particularly clear, I can
certainly see why one might assume that we wanted a
setting, of '1', but if you look at the code we see:
if mm_cfg.ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX in (1, 2):
self.__archive_to_mbox(msg)
if mm_cfg.ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX == 1:
# Archive to mbox only.
return
txt = str(msg)
# should we use the internal or external archiver?
[...]
So, ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX=1 skips both the internal *and*
external archivers, and archives only to the MBOX files.
