I was finally able to get the @archive_dirs variable cofigured correctly,
but it seemed to me that I didn't want to put list-specific entries into
the majordomo.cf file. Shouldn't that go somewhere else? I would like
to use an external text file as the array and poing archive_dirs to that
file instead of having to edit majordomo.cf everytime I add a list, but
I'm going to have to learn perl first...
Any ideas?
