We've got an archive taking up a fair amount of space, but much of the
traffic on that list is transient and doesn't need to be archived. So
we've decided to stop archiving it and to remove existing archives.
Apart from turning off archiving in the list configuration and removing
the public and private archive directories, is there anything else I need
to do?
No, but I would set the archive up like a new list with no messages.
I.e. remove the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file, but
keep the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/ directory, and remove
everything from the archives/private/LISTNAME/ directory and add a
archives/private/LISTNAME/index.html file with a page that says the
list doesn't archive.
Leave the archives/public/LISTNAME* symlink(s) alone.
This is because there is code which is executed every time a list
object is saved which checks whether the list's archive is private or
public and removes or creates the archives/public/LISTNAME* symlink(s)
accordingly. This code executes even if archiving is turned off for a
list. It only doesn't execute if archiving is disabled for the site
with
ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = -1
in mm_cfg.py.
