Okay, will I was able to use a the "list_lists -b" command to create complete listing of our lists (lists.txt). Then incorporated that list into a script that used "config_list" with an configuration input file "private_archive.txt" to reset every list to private archives only (archive_private = 1).

#---------Reset Lists to Private Archive------------------------- # CONFIG=/usr/local/mailman/bin/private_archive.txt LISTS=/usr/local/mailman/bin/lists.txt # for list in cat $LISTS do echo "$list" config_list -vi $CONFIG "$list" ### Test run with Checkonly option ###config_list -cvi $CONFIG "$list" done exit

Hello, We changed the option "DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE" to "1" in the "Defaults.py" file, but we are wondering, "Is there a way to rest the Archive option to PRIVATE for any of our existing lists without having to go to each individual list one at a time"?
