Hi,<br>
<br>
The "old" archive pages were generated by Mhonarc on a regular
schedule. All Mhonarc does is parse emails and turn them into static
webpages which was adequate for what we want. It doesn't need to be
ran on the same system as the mailserver or the webserver but it
does need to "see" a copy of the messages i.e. be on a system that
is a recipient of the messages and have read access to them.<br>
If possible doing this on a server/hosted system would be better so
the task could be automated and doesn't require human interaction.<br>
<br>
The other question is about whether we should be hiding sender
details on the mailing list itself. I can see good reasons for both
approaches to be honest- I'm not so concerned about other EdLUGers
seeing my name and email address but I'd rather they didn't end up
visible on the wider internet so I get even more spam than I do
currently :-)<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I've reinstalled my machine at least once since I did
the initial Sympa Mhonarc export so I no longer have the scripts and
config files. Maybe this means that I need to fire up
unixdev5.ucs.ed.ac.uk one last time....<br>
<br>
Anyway it sounds like this is something that needs discussed and
looked at as a group.<br>

<p dir="ltr">An umbrella list will partially solve the issue,
however, we are hopefully trying to get a solution that will
set the email addresses in the archive in the form <a

href="mailto:local_part@xxx.xxx"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:local_part@xxx.xxx">local_part@xxx.xxx</a></a> which
is how our original archive was formatted. We can throw this
into the ring and use it as a fall back position if other
options don't work. This whole issue was passed on to someone
a number of months ago to look at but I've not heard anything
about progress. </p>

I'm left confused about your requirements now!<br>
<br>
(BTW The source code is all available, so if someone cares enough
about<br>
this, they can write and submit patches.)<br>
<br>
But the usual way to deal with requirements for conflicting
settings is<br>
to break this into two separate pieces that don't conflict.<br>
<br>
Can whatever it is you are trying to achieve be done by using two<br>
mailing lists (what the docs call 'umbrella'), where the second
one<br>
(doing the public archiving) is subscribed to the first (limited
to<br>
members only)? Then you get two independent sets of mailman
settings<br>
to control. Since emails then get to the second list from the
first one<br>
via standard email, you also have the ability to customise the
mail<br>
configuration to perform additional processing in between the
lists<br>
(e.g. via procmail or a custom script or even directly in the exim<br>
configuration file).<br>
