Okiebenz is way over our allocated disk space. As in, we supposedly
have I believe 18gb or something like that and are currently using over
40gb. I am surprised the hosting company has not thrown a fit yet.
Anyway, most of the space it taken up by nearly 15 years of the
archives. We also had several dead lists that have not been used in
many years. I deleted these lists which included banned lite, vets, SL,
linux, and a couple of others. The remaining lists are still sucking up
quite a bit of space. I have contemplated moving to a new company as I
see them advertised with no set storage space amount or something to
that effect. I am not sure what their definition of what is excessive
though and it makes me nervous. So, now it comes down to the archives.
Does anybody actually access the raw archives on the server like this
example for the MB list:
http://mail.okiebenz.com/pipermail/mercedes_okiebenz.com/
We also maintain a list archive via on online searchable database here:

The raw archives are not searchable, you just have to go into whatever
month you want and you can sort by thread, author etc. I am thinking
about downloading the .txt files which appear to be much smaller than
the actual archive files. This should free up a lot of space.
So that is my question to everyone, does anybody see a problem with
this? I just want to make sure it is not a valuable resource people are
using, since it is pretty much duplicated with the online searchable
database anyway.
