[Mailman-Users] No archive files but 2 lists taking up 50MB in cPanel?

[Bryan Teague]

Tom, 

It isn’t that Mark is being unhelpful, it is that cpanel doess some … odd things with the packages that they bring into their ecosystem.  Most of the people on the mailman list are system admins, or at the very least, people who have command line access to the servers that run their mailman installations. 

When I was running mailman lists through cPanel,  I found the cpanel forums to be  a great help, along with the documentation and information found on the support site for cpanel.  (Both of those links are contained in the second paragraph of the page for your convenience I included them here)

As to your specific problem of the private archives this is what I found when I looked at one of my cpanel installations: 

https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/82Docs/Mailing+Lists
https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/82Docs/Archive

Hope this helps to clarify the issues for you.
