I understand. The problem is that the standard method of using a third-party archive solution should eliminate Pipermail from the picture altogether, and instead replace it with the third-party alternative. I have never before heard of anyone taking the output from Pipermail and then putting that into a third-party archive tool -- that would be like taking the output from sendmail and then piping that through postfix, and clearly redundant. I think maybe the OP may want to review the recommended method of using an external archiving tool like MHonArc with Mailman, such as described in FAQ 4.4. > Maybe we're just trying the wrong setting; is the obscured address a > pipermail constant? Is there some other setting that controls this? Did you look at your mm_cfg.py to see what the setting was for ARCHIVER_OBSCURES_EMAILADDRS? Here's the comment from Defaults.py for Mailman 2.1.5, if you did not over-ride this setting: # Pipermail archives contain the raw email addresses of the posting authors. # Some view this as a goldmine for spam harvesters. Set this to Yes to # moderately obscure email addresses, but note that this breaks mailto: URLs # in the archives too.
