Comments? (Yes, I know I could take the easy way out and change my Web server, but WN support in Mailman would interest others as well.)
Actualy, I would suggest making it a site-configuration option: something in mm_cfg.py that can be set by the site admin, and is an empty string in Defaults.py. That means that the site admin can customize it to fit the needs of the site (webserver or whatever.) You probably need to do something like this:
if mm_cfg.POST_ARCHIVE: infodict = { 'basedir': self.basedir, 'listname': ... 'listaddr': ... <... etc> }
os.system(mm_cfg.POST_ARCHIVE % infodict)
It should be a site-admin job and not a list admin job, for the obvious security issues. Exactly what information to include in the infodict is subject to discussion, but I think starting with some of the information at hand is fine. More stuff can be added later, and much more complicated stuff should be handled by an external archiver instead, anyway.
