I have got Mailman running and tested on a Debian GNU/Linux box. I am going to put this into production in the next few days on our intranet. During my testing phase I just used forwarded copies of one of my favorite digests. Well now I got 50-60 copies of these digests in my archives, and it is not exactly appropriate reading material for business use.
I can not find anything in the FAQs or archives that addresses deleting and restarting the archives. Any suggestions?

to clean the archives of <listname>: cd $prefix/archives/private rm -rf <listname>/* rm <listname>.mbox/*
<listname>/index.html isn't created until a new message is sent to the list.

Let me also remind people that the mailman-users and mailman-developers lists are searchable, in a sense, through the Python website Ultraseek server. Visit
http://www.python.org/search
and turn off "ftp site", "web site", and "starship" and turn /on/ "SIG archives".
