I've just put together a package for automaticly managing mailing list
archives. The idea being that at times it's nice to save a copy of mail
from a list for later review.
This system uses QMail extensions, Python, MHonArc, and PHP (for dynamicly
generating the archive indexes) to do this. Assuming you have the above
(lengthy) list of requirements satisfied, autoarch can be set up in under
a minute.
Mail sent to "user-autoarch-listname" will then get archived, including
web interface (if you have MHonArc and Apache or the like). The first
message coming in creates a new archive.
Available at ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/autoarch/
If anyone has any ideas on how to make it reasonably secure... ;-)
If you keep the archives private, it should be fine. It would be nice
to get Google to index them, but that means that your "secret" auto-archive
address is available. I suppose I could set up some lock-downs so that
the directory had to be created first, and/or the first message sent to
it would limit where messages could come from in the future...
