/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox or /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox/vorpal-users.mbox? /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox should be a directory that contains the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox/vorpal-users.mbox file. Assuming that's what you meant, that means that archiving to /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox/vorpal-users.mbox is working, but pipermail archiving is not. >Now here is the problem.

I'm guessing that the 9 messages were in the pipermail archive but were lost when you moved over the other archive. >Can I hand edit this file and maybe run a cleanarch? Here's my suggestion. Get the archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox/vorpal-users.mbox file from the other machine and append either the two or the eleven messages to it so you have one /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox/vorpal-users.mbox file with all the messages you want archived. Run bin/cleanarch with the '-n' option and the overall .mbox as input. If it gives any "Unix-From line changed:" messages, then move the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox/vorpal-users.mbox file and rerun bin/cleanarch without '-n' to create a 'cleaned' /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/vorpal-users.mbox/vorpal-users.mbox file. Then run 'bin/arch --wipe vorpal-users' to remove and rebuild the pipermail archive. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp> for more info about this. Be aware, that it's possible that the bin/arch --wipe will cause messages to be assigned different numbers in the archive, thus invalidating saved URLs pointing to archived messages, but I gather that at least the host portion of the URL changed anyway. Once you have rebuilt the archive in this way, it should work from now on. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
