[Mailman-Users] MailMan & External Archiver

[Olivier Carmona]

I am using MailMan 2.1.2 and Python 2.2.3 under Redhat 6.2 . I do not 
think that the kind of external archiver I use matters.

When using external archiver options, I found that if the command stdout 
is not redirected then the archiver returns status OK and on stderr a 
SIGPIPE signal caught.

PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/path/to/myarchiver >/tmp/myarchiver.log' 
-> WORKS
PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/path/to/myarchiver >/tmp/myarchiver.log' 
-> DO NOT WORK

I am not a python expert so it might that the following recommendation 
in Default.py, implicitly warns about it, and if this is the case, it 
would be very much appreciable to write it down explicitly.

By the way, it would be great to mention in INSTALL that Default.py can 
be changed but that any change to Default.py imply to restart mailman 
init script in order for the changes to be taken into account.

Best regards,
