Set up a cron job to run at daily at 23:59 and do something like

#!/bin/bash
suffix=`date +%Y%m%d`
sleep 60
if [[ -f /path/to/archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox ]]
   then mv /path/to/archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox \
     /path/to/archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox.$suffix
fi

Although you'd probably want to break it into subdirectories by month
and possibly year so as not to accumulate too many files in one
directory.

Moving the file aside is not a problem for the archiver which will just
create a new one the next time it archives a message.
