The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Marcin Hoffmann <address@concealed>]

Hi Michael,

you must go to a particular list config directory (sympa/list_data/[list_name]/) and open the config file. In there, find the:

[web_archive] section and delete it, i.e:

.

.

.

visibility noconceal

web_archive

quota 2048576

access private

max_month 2

serial 12

.

.

.

Im not sure if you have to restart Sympa after that or will it get the change automatically, but you wont have archive for this list at all.

Hello,

I'm trying to work out how to let list owners stop sympa archiving
messages for their lists - that is, not saving them at all (not just
saving them and making them inaccessible).

The documentation at
<http://www.sympa.org/manual_6.1/parameters-archives> suggests that if
the 'archive' paragraph is absent, no archiving will be carried out;
however, as far as I can tell, there's no way to unset that via the web
interface - and tweaking config files directly isn't an option.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but before I dive through all of the
code, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Michael
