If you have two mail archives on the same (virtual) server, one public and one with restricted access, both with marc-search, anyone can search the restricted mail archive by forging the referer of the http call to point at the restricted mail archive. - Mats Dufberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use Marc-Search by Eric Friedman. Upsides: Flexible search parameters Nice display of search results (shows some context around the hits) Designed specifically for MHonArc archives Can use the full power of Perl regular expressions It's written entirely in Perl so you can hack it if need be. Uses unbuffered output so results start displaying pretty quickly Downsides: It basically greps thru the archives (there's no indexing involved) so it can be slow when searching large archives. It's written entirely in perl so can be slow. I had to hack the script (slightly) to get it to work with my site as the code makes certain (reasonable) assumptions about the way the html and cgi directories are located which didn't match the way my ISP organized things. YMMV. You can check out my archive at: http://www.sonic.net/~snevel/etherbun/index.html Go to the bottom of the page and take the "search" link. Try: t(oo|ee)th as the search term. HTH Simeon P.S. You can follow the links from http://www.sonic.net/~snevel/etherbun/index.html if you're interested in seeing the resource files and scripts I use to build the archive. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] =-=-=-=-=A rabbit is just an angel with big ears!
