On our system, we do a monthly rotation of archives, and keep about 12 months of the gzipped files in the *.mbox directories. Then periodically we clean up the archives when we are running out of space and truncate the archives which can be downloaded, to either 6 or 12 months using the arch --wipe mailman feature.
However, we still are running out of space on our mailman server and I was looking around where I might gain some space. I noticed that we are gzipping the archive files, nightly with 27 3 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /opt/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip but it also leaves a copy of the uncompressed archives. Is this the proper behavior? Is it possible to only have the gzipped archives and not the text files? If I comment out the above nightly_gzip line will it cause a problem?
