I assume you are thinking of the mailman-users archive at
mail-archive.com. That is a totally separate from Mailman archive that
works by subscribing it to your list. See
<http://www.mail-archive.com/>.

With mm_cfg.py settings, you can choose to either collect the list
posts in the cumulative listname.mbox/listname.mbox or not and to
maintain an archive or not. The default is to use both and to use
pipermail as the archiver, but you can specify a different 'external'
archiver to be used instead of pipermail.

There is a lot of stuff in the archives of this list, part of which is
about archiving with both pipermail and an external archiver. The
following google search will get all the threads.
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org++inurl%3Amailman-users%2F2005+%22Jean-Philippe+GIOLA+jean-philippe.giola%22

Note that mail-archive.com is not an external archiver in this sense.
It is just an address subscribed to the list.

There are several archiving improvements on the list at
