I've got one list with a huge archive...over 30,000 messages. I have been using HTDig, but I'd like to find something that needs less space for search index files. Any thoughts on how mnoGoSearch compares, in terms of disk space and performance?

Thanks much, Dave Melton

Can anyone recommend an archiver that will work nicely with Mailman? It needs to have a search function *and* deal gracefully with attachments.

I'm not aware of any that fit that bill. Archiving and search functionality are very distinct functionalities. For archiving I generally recommend MHonArc:

For search indexing I like MnoGoSearch:

http://www.mnogosearch.org/

I use both at Kanga.Nu:

See prior list posts for details on how to integrate and directions to my configs/setup.
