[Mailman-Users] What/who invokes Pipermail?

Hi all

Still trying to get to the bottom of the 'no threads
showing on the archive page' problem, and it's not
the same issue relating to headers and SpamAssassin
which appears in the archives.

So the next questions are:

*   How is Pipermail supposed to be invoked?  Does
    one of the other processes call it?  

*   Which Python script builds the indexes?

*   Which user should it be running as?  Same as Mailman?

*   What are the permissions supposed to be on the
    mbox archives?

*   Where (if anywhere) is this failure to build being
    logged?  

It's just that nothing in the crontab.in file which is
part of the installation seems to be obviously responsible
for the archives being built, and looking through this
list's archives turns up *loads* of problems identical
to this but not a single answer.  So if I can get to the
bottom of it, it'll be in the archives for those who
follow :-)

Cheers
