What Mailman version is this? in all Mailman versions 2.1.6+, if the list's scrub_nondigest = Yes, when bin/arch --wipe is run, the attachments directory is saved as archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/attachments. > moreover, now that I looked into it, I got the impression that > older attachments are also purged from the other lists too. > Is it really so (possibly as side effect of the monthly > pipermail re-indexing) ? Nothing in Mailman does this automatically. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
