[Mailman-Users] MM and mhonarc problems...

[Jon Carnes]

I haven't looked at the Source code for it, but it appears to be telling
you that Mailman is running the external Archiver (which you've setup as
Mhonarc).  The call to run the external Archiver returns a non-zero
code, meaning that there was an error in running the external archive.

Look at the command you have setup for the external archive. Su as
"mailman" and run that exact command.  See what output you get.  

Does the successful completion of the command depend on any environment
variables being set?  If so, you may wish to run the command via a
script/subshell which sets the environment properly before invoking
Mhonarch.

Hope this helps - Jon Carnes
