Dear List Members,
I am new to this list so I hope my post is on topic.
I operate a mailing list about groundwater. There are ~ 3500 subscribers,
the list is run by majordomo off a server that is part of my regular dial-up
account. Thus I do not actually do any of the programming of the server, I
just own the list, and take care of all of the admin. The sysop who works
for the college where my account is has been helpful, but he has alot on his
plate.
To get a digest version,we set up a separate list on the same server. We now
have over 1000 digests stored on the server since Jan 1 1996 (our launch
date). Back issues can of course be obtained using the 'get' command,
however there is no way to know what is on each digest until you 'get' it.
Reference.com offered to archive my list for me and provide a search
function for the digest, too which i agreed last fall. I have discovered
however that they will only go back a few months so that earlier digests
that may have relevent information will not show up in a search.
Now that I have bored you to death, here is my question:
Is there a service that will archive my whole set of digests and provide a
search function, and/or is there some software that I can install myself
that will do this. Again, I am not the sysop, just a lowley owner who has a
hard enough time keeping bad addresses off the list. Thus I would prefer an
outside service unless there is something I can have the sysop install
without too much work or that does not require a lot of ongoing activity on
his part.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance to all who reply.
Your fellow list-owner.
Ken Bannister
