Does the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/listname.mbox directory have to contain just one file, or can I break it up by year or something to make them more managable?
I had my mailman lists on my home server, but a few years ago I moved them to a virtual private server. Because the disk space was limited there, I started trimming down the listname.mbox files down to just the previous two years worth. But now I've moved them again, this time to a colo box where I have more disk space than I know what to do with. I want to restore the old archives. Can I just dump the old mbox file in the same directory as the current archives and do a "arch listname"? Or will I have to run "arch" once for the old file and once for the listname.mbox file? Will "arch" handle the case where there is a bit of overlap between two files (the files from my home system go from 1999 to mid-2005, and the ones on my VPS go from the beginning of 2005 to the present)? -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://blog.xcski.com/ Things which do you no good in aviation: Altitude above you.
