I wouldn't say I use "the best" way, but I've made it like this:
In all my *-outgoing aliases (that majordomo will use to post the outgoing
mails to), I've added a special receiver named (say) 'dump_the_mail'.
So, for my list 'fake' the /etc/aliases entry looks like:
fake-outgoing: :include:/home/majordomo/lists/fake, dump_the_mail
... then I have a .forward file for the user dump_the_mail that runs
procmail.
Procmail checks for the "Sender:" header and extracts the list name from
there, and then stores the mail in a folder with that name and runs hypermail
on that folder.
Thus, when I add a mailing list to my server, it will automatically start
archiving the list...
