The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Miles Fidelman <address@concealed>]

Personally, I've never had any luck installing sympa as a .deb - so all 
my installations have been by the old standby of:
download
./configure; make;
make install

In my installation, the archive files end up under:
/home/sympa/arc/<listname>/<yyyy-mm>/arctxt - which contains individual 
text messages
/home/sympa/arc/<listname>/<yyyy-mm> - contains the html versions and 
the index
