Assume that we're working with this in the /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg
file for the configuration specific to the plugin:
[plugin.example]
class: example_mm_plugin.hooks.ExamplePlugin
enabled: yes
config_item_one: Foo
config_item_two: Bar
config_item_three: 1234567890
...
How would I, within `example_archiver.py`, be able to access and read
the custom configuration options that I've added to `plugin.example` in
the mailman.cfg file?
It's more complex than that. What you want in mailman.cfg is
```
[plugin.example]
class: example_mm_plugin.hooks.ExamplePlugin
enabled: yes
configuration: /path/to/example.cfg
```
and in /path/to/example.cfg
```
[plugin.example]
config_item_one: Foo
config_item_two: Bar
config_item_three: 1234567890
```
Then in example_archiver.py you would have things like
```
from mailman.config import config
from mailman.config.config import external_configuration
...
my_config = external_configuration(config.plugin.example.configuration)
# and then things like
item_one = my_config.get('plugin.example', 'config_item_one')
```
