Mhonarc problems at mail-archive.com

. Take a look at: http://www.mail-archive.com/marxism%40lists.panix.com/maillist.html And you'll see what I am talking about. I am cc'ing the Mhonarc mailing list and Earl Hood, the guy who wrote Mhonarc. This *may* have something to do with the performance degradation at mail-archive.com. Louis

RE: Really big subject/author pages?

2000-11-29 Thread Louis Proyect
From the cases before, the problem was that the comment declarations were not present in the pages, so mhonarc ends up "preserving" the entire previous index page instead of just HEADER. From looking at the code, I fail to see where the error is. Maybe there is some querky file flushing

I have no idea why my last post got so messed up, but in any case I have put it out on website in a readable format: http://www.marxmail.org/mhonarc.htm It contains instructions on how to: 1. use procmail to trigger a perl script that calls mhonarc. This means that all incoming messages to

After many false starts, I have switched to hypermail. This has nothing to do with the merits of MhonArc, a great product. Problems at my ISP, which led to inexplicable glitches (messages getting spliced; author index going into some kind of weird loop), finally made me throw in the towel. In

Looks like Perl 4 is being invoked on mhonarc. You need Perl 5. --ewh This turned out to be the problem, but I never could have figured it out on my own. I finally broke down and told my ISP that I couldn't figure out why mhonarc run from procmail would produce Perl 4 type syntax

I am waiting for my ISP to upgrade to 2.4.4. I have a suspicion that the problems I have run into with Otherindexes might be related to the fact that they are on 2.3.0 Beta. In any case, I went ahead and downloaded MHonArc to try the latest version to see if this had an effect. I can run it okay

It seems like every so often somebody asks a question like this. Unfortunately the examples given on the Mhonarc web page are exceedingly obscure. They seem to be pitched to people who have an advanced understanding of Unix and inter-process communications. I have only been working with Unix (Aix
