AN> ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = -1What's probably happening is that it /seems/ as if archiving is turned on because that's what's displayed on the Web pages. However, setting ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX in mm_cfg should effectively disable archiving. If I'm reading the code correctly, the attribute `archive' on the MailList object is what's displayed in the "Archive Messages?" value.
If this is false, then when a message reaches MailList.Post(), Archiver.ArchiveMail() is never called. Once in .ArchiveMail(), ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX further short circuits archiving.
Here's some pseudo code to explain what you could write to change this:
for listname in mymailinglists: mlist = MailList(listname) mlist.archive = 0 mlist.Save()
Hope that helps. -Barry
