Description |
| Archive messages? |
Setting this to "yes" will cause Mailman to
store a record of all traffic sent thorough the list. |
| Is archive file source for public or private
archival? |
If set to "private," then only list members
are able to access the contents of the list archive. They will be prompted
for their list password when the try to access the contents. Setting this
to "public" will allow anyone to access the list archives through the
listinfo page.
Note: think carefully about whether your list
membership wants their identities and postings made available to the world
at large by making the archive public. Public access means that web
spiders will be able to store and make available member's writings outside
of the context of the list to which they were posted to the
list. |
| How often should a new archive volume be
started? |
The main archive screen for a list breaks down
the archive content based on this setting. There is no best setting here,
only what is most appropriate based on the list's function and the amount
of traffic that it receives. |
