Yup, it seems OK to me, but with 2 minor issues: - "mailman's" instead of "mailmans" in the first sentence - there are actually 4 lines to be added not 3 :) My personal recomandation would be to set ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX to "2" since it would be a good idea to keep the list archives in a separate place for backup purposes. Who knows what might happen to lurker's databases and it wouldn't be so nice to loose the archives. But of course, it's the sysadmin's choice after all...
