You have basically two issues. One is getting the archived messages onto the other host, and the other is accessing them. To get messages archived on (call it) archives.example.com, you could have Mailman installed and running there. Then, for each list, you could have the active version, say [EMAIL PROTECTED] be your normal list with the addition of [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a member and archiving turned off. Then you set up [EMAIL PROTECTED] with [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the only member (with delivery and password reminders disabled, to accept the relayed posts) and with the archive settings you want. There are probably other ways to do this using external archiver settings on lists.example.com or by having archives on both hosts and using rsync to update the archives host, but the above seems simple enough. Assuming you're doing the first method, you probably want to set ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = -1 in mm_cfg.py on lists.example.com so the archiver doesn't do any archiving at all. Then you can put your own pages in archives/private/<listname>/index.html on lists.example.com. These pages could redirect to the corresponding archive on archives.example.com. Also, for public archives, you could set PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL in mm_cfg.py on lists.example.com to point to archives.example.com. I haven't thought about this a lot. There may be other (better) ways.
