I have a 360MB listname.mbox file, which is concatenated from six years of majordomo archives. I tried archiving the mbox using bin/arch (via the built-in pipermail), and got this:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/arch", line 129, in ? main() File "bin/arch", line 118, in main archiver.processUnixMailbox(fp, Article) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 526, in processUnixMa ilbox a = articleClass(m, self.sequence) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 207, in __init__ self.__super_init(message, sequence, keepHeaders) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 175, in __init__ self._set_date(message) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 419, in _set_date self.__super_set_date(message) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 228, in _set_date date = message.getdate_tz('Date') File "/usr/pkg/lib/python2.0/rfc822.py", line 371, in getdate_tz return parsedate_tz(data) File "/usr/pkg/lib/python2.0/rfc822.py", line 828, in parsedate_tz if data[0][-1] in (',', '.') or string.lower(data[0]) in _daynames: IndexError: list index out of range The sourceforge site is down right now, I'll report this when its up. I'm running Mailman 2.0.8 on Python 2.0, NetBSD 1.5.1. I've applied these patches: mailman-2.0.8-plaintext-0.16.patch indexing-2.0.6.patch htdig-2.0.8-0.1.patch The mbox has some older messages for which pipermail apparently punts, setting their date to February 2002. I will look into a work-around which splits and then rebuilds the mbox with better date formatting. Not sure how to go about that.. The list has been served by majordomo for six years, with the archives parsed and displayed by mhonarc and searchable by glimpse via wilma. We're switching to mailman, and I'd like to try pipermail+htdig. Can pipermail be expected to parse such a large archive? The machine has lots of CPU, RAM and disk space. Any advice?
