I don't think that mailman can do this directly. However, you could set up a separate list, say "listname-archive" that exists solely to provide the archive. Subscribe this one user to listname-archive, with the nomail option set. Then subscribe "listname-archive" to "listname" to get posts sent there. You may have to tweak listname's config the "Alias names which qualify as explicit to or cc destination names" config item. This way, the one list administrator can see the archive in the "listname-archive" version of the list, but everyone else thinks the archive doesn't exist. Of course make sure the listname-archive list is hidden from view on the "listinfo" page, and you might name it something more cryptic if you're really trying to be sneaky. Obviously there are other possibilities involving external archiving tools, but the above would let you do this with mailman only. --Jeremy -- /=====================================================================\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \=====================================================================/ ------------------------------------------------------ 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
