Having $listdir/digests is OK, but your majordomo.cf is instructing the
program to use $listdir/$listname.archive rather than $listdir/archive for
archives. My preference is to have "lists", "digests", and "archive" all
on the same level of the tree. If $listdir = $homedir/lists, then I use
$digest_work_dir = $homedir/digests, and $filedir = $homedir/archive with
$filedir_suffix = "".
If you adopt this approach, keep in mind that you need subdirectories under
each of digests and archive with listname-digest, and potentially one under
archive called listname. This is inline with sample.cf for digests, but
varies from sample.cf for archive. This means your aliases would look
different from the examples when doing archiving. My test-archive alias
looks like this;
test-archiver: "|/var/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl
-f /var/majordomo/archive/test/test -M -a"
You did know you could split an alias across multiple lines by indenting
the additional lines right?
test is a the base name of the archive, and will be suffixed with .YYYYMM
because of the -M. test.200004 will live in /var/majordomo/archive/test.
If you decide to use digestified lists, digest needs a listname-digest
directory under archive to store the files it creates. (v01.n001)
What would be nice, and I have not seen it or done it myself, is to have
the volume number be equated with and automated to a 2 or 4 digit year
value.
