The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Patrick Cernko <address@concealed>]

Hi list,

I'm struggling with having Google index the public mail archives on our 
Sympa servers.

I already removed the "I am not a spammer" barrier, which did not help.

We also tried to force Google crawler to index the corresponding domain 
via their site-admin tool. But even after waiting several days, 
searching for "site:sympa.mpi-klsb.mpg.de Some-Keyword" where some 
unique keyword was picked from an older mail in the archive, Google 
still presents no results. When using "Archive powered by MHonArc" as 
keyword it finds the lists that have a public archive but only the start 
page of the archive although this text can be found on every page of the 
archive. Forcing Google to index a specific message page results in only 
this specific message page to be indexed, but we cannot do this for all 
the mails in the archives obviously.

Does anyone have some tips how to convince Google crawler to follow all 
the links to the different mail messages in the archive and index all 
these pages? Tips for the same problem with other search engines are 
also welcome of course.

Best regards,
