Re: [Mailman-Developers] Usenet gating and archiving

Is anybody currently gating Usenet to a mailing list, /and/ doing archiving with the default Pipermail?
I am not yet using Mailman to do this, but I am doing the same thing with a hairy custom setup (majordomo + MHonArc + INN + gateway scripts). In about a month or so, I plan to switch our setup over to Mailman since it is *so* much nicer.
I would rather not add this hack to Mailman unless a lot of people would benefit from it.
We have a number of people who choose to interact via our local Usenet groups, and it is important that their contributions are archived. Without the ability to do so, I will need to stay with our current setup (icky as it is from an administrative standpoint, it does what I need) instead of moving to Mailman.
Let me just say that Mailman is a wonderful piece of software. I have poked at it a little bit on a test installation, and it is beautifully conceived and implemented.

I think I was probably not very clear in my message (I was rushed to leave). The problem /only/ affects you if you are running something earlier than 1.0b11 (to be released in a few minutes) and are already archiving a gated list. Any new lists you start gating after installing 1.0b11 will work just fine.
