[Mailman-Users] Setting up MHonArc as Archiver on linux

[Steve Eichblatt]

Well, I tried this. Nothing. 

I also tried setting it to 

PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/bin/cat /etc/hosts >! /home/mailman/archives/private/testlist/archive.testlist'

This command, when called alone, works (ie copies /etc/hosts to
archive.testlist). 

So where/when is PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER supposed to be called?
