See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.011.htp> for links to current solutions. This is a highly requested feature and something will eventually be done to provide an archive search, but at this point there is no timeframe. >2) One of our lists has monthly archives. Is there a way to combine >older archives (more than a year or two old) into yearly archives? It's probably a manual process and possibly not a good idea, since any existing URLs such as those in one archived post pointing to another or those in a FAQ or those saved by individuals will be invalidated by such a change. That said, you could do it by something like the following: 1) stop Mailman to prevent new mail from being archived 2) set the list's archive_volume_frequency to yearly 3) remove all the 'old' monthly directories and .txt files from archives/private/listname. also, remove the 'old' subdirectories from archives/private/listname/attachments and the 'old' database files from archives/private/listname/database 4) figure out the message number of the last 'old' message in the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file or the first and last of the 'old' monthly messages if you've done this before. 5) run bin/arch with the appropriate --end (and --start) options as determined in step 4). do NOT use the --wipe option. 6) set the list's archive_volume_frequency back to monthly. 7) start Mailman. >3) I administer a few Mailman lists (version 2.1.9.cp2) on a cPanel X >account that I control as well.

That said what additional information is in the Apache error_log? Is http://server.name//mailman/admindb/<list>_<domain> the correct URL for this list's admindb page (Is server.name the same as <domain>)? Look at the 'page source' for the 'view all messages from'. Is the action URL in the form tag correct? I'm really grasping at straws here because all admindb pages should generate the same form tag with the same action URL so it should either work or not from any of the admindb pages. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
