Edit the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file to remove all the older messages. If you don't care about keeping the older messages at all, just edit the file in place and then run Mailman's bin/arch --wipe listname to rebuild the archive. If you do want to keep the old messages, There are multiple ways to proceed. I suggest keeping archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox as the full archive and saving the pruned file as say archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox.recent and then rebuilding the archive with bin/arch --wipe listname archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox.recent (all on one line) -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
