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

[Todd Pfaff]

try something like this:

- create /tmp/test-archiver as

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH
touch /tmp/test-archiver.log
id >> /tmp/test-archiver.log
echo $1 >> /tmp/test-archiver.log
exit 0

- make this executable by everyone

chmod 755 /tmp/test-archiver

- set these in mm_cfg.py (exactly as shown, on separate lines, with the
three double quote marks)

PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = """
/tmp/test-archiver %(listname)s
"""

PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = """
/tmp/test-archiver %(listname)s
"""
