[Mailman-Users] Managing attachments in the list archive

[Jon Carnes]

Pipermail is the archiver that comes built-in to Mailman.  While
Pipermail fits the needs of 90% of the folks who use Mailman, it is a
light-weight archiver.  For more heavy duty archive use, you should look
at using something like Mhonarc.  Mhonarc should be able to handle your
needs easily, and there is an FAQ on setting up Mhonarc with Mailman.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
