Either way is a storage space issue. Since drive space is "cheap" now,
I tend to take a lazier approach and archive both. You could always set
up a cron to clean out what you do not want though.

Fine, generic is good.

add ,nobody to this alias to prevent sendmail from disclosing your -outgoing address
fanlist: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l fanlist -h foobar.com fanlist-outgoing,nobody"
> fanlist-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/fanlist, fanlist-digestify
append fanlist-archiver onto your -outgoing alias with -digestify .
fanlist-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/fanlist, fanlist-digestify, fanlist-archiver
add one of these lines
fanlist-archiver: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl -f /usr/local/majordomo/lists/fanlist.archive/fanlist -a -M"
or
fanlist-archiver: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl -f /usr/local/majordomo/archive/fanlist/fanlist -a -M"
depending on your $filedir and $filedir_suffix in majordomo.cf
The first example above matches these majordomo.cf settings
$filedir = "$listdir";
$filedir_suffix = ".archive";
The second example matches these.
$filedir = "$homedir/archive";
$filedir_suffix = "";

Neither majordomo nor sendmail will ever use the above alias.

You may want to add ,nobody to the digestify alias too.
