True; it is merely "archived" as messages to postmaster@freebsd.org are, in a rather informal catenation. > Since this file is now over 200Mb, is it possible to fix that oversight? Well, by changing the "list" from a mere alias to a full-fledged Mailman-managed mailing list, I suppose it could be done. Or someone could research and try to figure out how to accomplish the desired form of archiving without making it a Mailman-managed list, at least in principle. Using Mailman to manage a "list" that has one archive and 2 (other) recipients seems like overkill, though. > (The same holds for aic7xxx, but that is a lot smaller) The existence of that list predates my tenure as postmaster; I had no involvement in its creation. It does have the attribute of being a mailman-managed list, though (and was a majordomo-managed list prior to the conversion). Peace, david (current hat: postmaster@freebsd.org) -- David H.
