You will have to write a script to do this. It's very easy. The main file to edit will be ~mailman/lists/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox (that's from memory... so it should be close to correct, but...). The file is in linear format. The first messages to the list are at the top of the file and the latest messages from the list at the bottom of the file.
You will have to edit the file, then erase all the archives and then regenerate the archives using the ~mailman/bin/arch command. If you search the archives you will find a message (or group of messages) that details every step and has a sample script to edit the Mbox file. Good Luck, and let us know if you need any more help!

But since I have limited disk space, I cannot archive the mails for an unlimited time. Now to my question: Is there a way to config Mailman in a way, that it deletes the archives after let's say one week? Or do I have to delete one or more file(s) manually? And if so, which files do I have to delete in order to only keep on week of the archive? Greets and thanks in advance, Matthias ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/jonc%40nc.rr.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [email protected] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
