I have troubles with hypermail archiver.
I strongly suggest you look at MHonArc (http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/mhonarc.doc.html). It has far better MIME support, is significantly more configurable, etc etc etc yada yada.

Yes, I know, but it is nice on hypermail that it can be trigered directly from mailman. When I will use another archiving tool, it must be runed from crontab. Is is from my point of view bad, becouse on not loaded lists is archiving tool runned too often and system overhead is big, or too only sometimes and the archive is out of sync with list.
What would developers say to method in mailman like start archiving? It is probably not good idea. Or to make generic inteface like
os.exec(archiver,message is on stdin) ????

I could be wrong (I downloaded mhonarc, but haven't really set it up to run with mailman), but doesn't mhonarc use "-add" to add a single message to the archives?
Could you trigger that directly from mailman?

What I've done is subscribe a "user" to my mailman lists. That user then has a procmailrc file that calls mailman with a -add flag to auto-update the MHonArc archives.
Incidentally, I believe the original question was miscommunicated. Even though they said hypermail archives, the site is most definitely using mailman's builtin pipermail.

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.
