Hello,

I have a lot of mailing lists that I have to look after. NB: I am not familiar with mailman.

I recently found out that the mailman is not archiving most of the mailing lists. Here is some info that might give you some idea of what is going on.

1. /var/log/mailman/qrunner:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
