[Mailman-Users] Mailman + MhonArc problems

That is effectively what I cut mine down to, also. My problem seems to be that the archiver simply isn't being called when a new message hits the list.

The FAQ on setting up mailman with Mhonarc is a well intentioned joke:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.004.htp

so I may have to do what David suggested and run a shell script every 5 minutes that does the archiving. It's silly, but I don't see another solution that will get me up and running any time soon.

Thanks for your help,
Doug
