Good evening, all... I am trying to set MHonarc up to work with MailMan. I am
following the instructions found at:
http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-users/2001-10/msg00021.html


I get the following error message when a message goes through the list:

Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

Yes, at the assignments in mm_cfg.py. The instructions you are working to say, amongst other things, to make the following assignments something like:


PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/usr/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir/var/mhonarc/archives/%(listname)s >> /tmp/out_external_archiver'
PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/usr/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir/var/mhonarc/archives/%(listname)s >> /tmp/out_external_archiver'


It is no coincidence that the invalid format character complained of, the ">" (greater than) character, appears in that recipe after a formatting sequence "%(listname)s >"

Is there any chance that you mistyped that part of the assigned value as "%(listname) >>" ? For instance, if you had typed "%(listname) >>" this would lead to the error you are getting.

btw: there is a patch for a more complete integration of Mailman/pipermail/MHonarc available at http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/patches/mhonarc/ which may be of interest to you.

I reviewed the changes I made to my mm_cfg file and everything matches up with no
obvious syntax errors. However, I can't quite figure out what the error is being
caused. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
