I have a couple more questions before I start trying this out.
The mailman server is an internal server and cannot be accessed from the outside world so I plan to push the archives outside the firewall every night. If I install mailman with the htdig patch on my web server (and not run sendmail) will this work or does the htdig information get processed as a message is archived? If so, can the htdig database be pushed as well? Thanks, Jimmy >>I have a mailman list that keeps archives and >>someone wants me to make those archives >>searchable via a web browser. >> >>Is there a way mailman can do this? >>Any other thoughts? >> >>Thanks, >>Jimmy >> >> >>------------------------------------------------------ >>Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users > >The following patches integrate the htdig (http://www.htdig.org/) search >engine with Mailman. > >http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444879&group_id=103&atid=300103 > >http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444884&group_id=103&atid=300103 > >The main features of the patch, from its sourceforge summary are: > >1. per list search facility with a search form on the >list's TOC page. > >2. maintenance of privacy of private archives which >requires the user to establish their credentials via >the normal private archive access before any access >via htdig is allowed. > >3. a common base URL for both public and private >archive access via htsearch results so that htdig >indices are unaffected by changing an archive from >private to public and vice versa.
