I'm in the process of migrating from ezmlm to mailman. So far everything is working great. I've even been able to migrate ezmlm list archives to mailman so that I can see the messages via the mailman web interface.
One of the goals of this migration is to be able to use a Google Search Appliance to search the list archives. What I've found is that the archive for each list is in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/listname, and in this directory are
1) a directory for each month containing the messages
submitted during the month in HTML format.
2) a file for each month containing all the messages
for the month in text format concatenated together.I'm trying to figure out the best way to search the archive with a GSA. I'm worried that if I search #1 I'll find what I want but it will be in HTML format which won't be very easy to read. If I search #2 I'll find what I want but I'll see the whole file, which will also contain a bunch of stuff I'm not looking for.
Has anybody worked through these issues with a GSA? I'd be interested in hearing how you did it.
Cordially, Jon Forrest
