[Mailman-Users] Need help with a mailman archiving issue

[Richard Feltham]

I posted previously about an issue we have been having with the archive
links.
Another project came up, and this item got dropped. I now have a bit of time
to spare, and thought I would try again.

What is happening is this:

When mail comes into a list, it is being dumped into
/apps/mailman/archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox

As the mail comes in, it is supposed to generate/update
/apps/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/<YYYYMMDD>/author.html,
Date.html, index.html, subject.html, etc

I can do this manually using /apps/mailman/bin/arch <listname>
That will generate the items properly.

Mailman version is 2.1.5
Mailman has been installed as user mailman, using group mailman.

/apps/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE = 1

/apps/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py
ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE = 1
PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = No
PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'private')


Permissions on the
/apps/mailan/archives/private directories are:
drwxrwsr-x   157 mailman mailman  10752 Oct 7 03:30 listname
drwxrwsr-x     2 mailman mailman    512 Oct 7 03:30 listname.mbox
