Yes, the problem is, i can atach archiver on alias like

list: |archiver, |listserv

So can be attached any archiver to any list and is trigered only with
incoming message. Problem is, that some messages are not send by listserv,
becouse they are from spamming domain, contaist only commands for listserv
etc. So the archive doesn't containts that what was send by listserv.

Second is make archiver a listmember. Not bad, but message can spend many
hours in mailqueue. It is not a online archiving.

Third, my favourite is to call archiver inside listserv. And this can be
by mailman complicated. But i will look on it to find some solution.
