currently in my server i delete the HTML archives but it still shows a list of archives from 2008 in the HTML archive list.
Are you trying to delete just older messages leaving the most recent ones and continuing to archive? If so, and if you don't mind the message numbers and hence URLs of the recent messages changing, you can do the following: If you have say 5000 total messages in the cumulative archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file, and you want to keep only the most recent 500 for the HTML archive, just do bin/arch --wipe --start=4500 listname This will recreate the table of contents with only the current messages. If you want to empty the archive completely, you can do bin/arch --wipe listname /dev/null And this will give you the "no messages have been posted" table of contents until a new post is archived. -- delete archives from web admin pages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595766 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
