I am trying to get hypermail to separate postings
by month and year but I am not having much success.
We have been running hypermail for a number of years on an
AIX system but I wasn't able to compile the latest version of
hypermail on the system so decided to move to a new system.
The system is Redhat Linux 7.2.
I have hypermail 2.1.6 installed and it appears to work.
I am using the method
test-list-archives:"|/usr/local/bin/hypermail -i -u -c
/home/hypermail/test.rc -d /var/www/html/archives/test-list -l \"Test List
Archive\" "
but it doesn't seem to do anything other than the old method
with author, subject etc.
I created the rc file by running hypermail > test.rc
then modified a number of entries according to the docs
I could find.
Am I missing something.
We do not have the emails in an mbox format but process them as they
come in. This has led to a problem on the AIX system with huge
number of messages being indexed.
Another question.
If one has a huge indexed list (no mbox file) is there a way
to delete some messages? Or is it possible to redo the directory
archive so one can separate postings into year/month sections.
Thanks
