You could look at Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py, but thus doesn't really show what I think you want - the part I think you're looking for is compressed into joerandom ---> mylist ---> list members Look in Defaults.py at the definition of GLOBAL_PIPELINE which defines the flow through the various Mailman/Handlers/ modules. >I'm particularly interested in when the >~/archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox file is created, and when posts are >written to it.

Yes, IIRC the directory is created with the list, but the file is not created until it is needed. >Is it normal for this file _not_ to exist even after a successful posting to >the list?

Depending on list archiving and global archiving, maybe. Is archiving turned on for the list? Is ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX set to 1 or 2? Default is 2 - see definitions in Defaults.py If these things are all set for archiving to occur and the <list>.mbox to be written, it's probably a group/permissions issue. Have you looked at Mailman's 'error' log? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
