Hi,
Wondering if have any script to merge archives.
We saved one of the accounts archives and then deleted and re-created the mailing list, were running for a week, now we need merge the saved archives with the existing one after the list re-creation. If were another month is easy but how you merge same month archives?
Thank you!

If you saved the old archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file, just concatenate the old and new files to make a archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox that contains all the messages, and then rebuild the archives with
bin/arch --wipe listname
If you didn't save the old archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file, you can make an approximate reconstruction by editing the old archives/private/listname/yyyy-mmmmm.txt file to unobscure the email addresses.

When you run
bin/arch --wipe list_name
it reads the contents of archives/private/list_name.mbox/list_name.mbox and entirely rebuilds the structure in archives/private/list_name/. Thus, you only need to merge the list_name.mbox files into one archives/private/list_name.mbox/list_name.mbox that contains all the messages and run the above command.
You don't need to do anything in the archives/private/list_name/ directory because it will be entirely rebuilt.
