I thought that might happen, but I didn't confirm it. Oh well ... Do this: rm -rf /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/* Then Toggle the archive_private setting in the web admin UI for both lists. The background on what caused this in the first place is you apparently copied your production Mailman installation to a test environment, but whatever process you used to do the copy, copied the targets of the symlinks in /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ instead of copying the symlinks as symlinks. This is what causes the issue with public archives no longer being updated. They actually are updated in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/, but the pipermail URLs point to the old, static archive now copied to /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/. We've seen this multiple times in backup/restore scenarios and moving installations to another server. The bottom line is when backing up, always ensure you copy symlinks as symlinks and not their targets. For rsync, this is -l/--links (included as part of -a/--archive). For cp, it's -d or -P/--no-dereference or -a/--archive. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
