I don't get it - the arkive's database can be set by -dbfile on the command line it must be a variabel for mhonarc at some point. And i think that MhonArc works this way. 1) Read command line 2) Read dbfile 3) Read resurcefile(s) 4) Read/scan mailbox or stdin 5) Work ! - Write html and dbfile But is it not possibel to move mhonarc.db out from the the outdir variabel - after all there is no need for the webserver to store or read that file ? Something like this DBFILE default to ./mhonarc.db search command line search outdir from the command line search current dir I don't thint that will break any setup... Then i would be possibel to do like this ( it is DOS syntaks but can be done in all shells and perl etc ..) For %A in (*.db ) do mhonarc -add -dbfile %A And i get ALL MonArc lists updatet. > > But if i delete ALL files in outdir ( were mhonarc.db is ) to rebuild after > > design changes - then the removed messages gets back. > > You need to delete the original raw mail also to make sure the messages > do not reappear. > Thats is the case now - I don't like it - I'am not the only one that need to clean up the lists I have a lot of lists and the most i don't read - but there will be at least one that reads the lists.

That was not the question - IF i use mhonarc -rmm 1-3 , the old messages 1-3 don't popup at a new scan Is the removed messageID not stored in some way by mhonarc ?
