[Mailman-Users] disable a mailing list

hello all,

i want to temporary disable one of my mailing lists while keeping the archives available. i run mailman 2.1.12 with sendmail. i was thinking about doing the following:

. remove the appropriate aliases from /path/to/aliases (redirecting the <mailling-list>-owner of the affected list to some real address) . move the /path/to/mailman/lists/<disabled-list> directory to a temporary location

is this the proper way to disable a list? is there anything else that needs to be done?

greetings,

Stoyan
