Turn this off if you don't want to archive messages. <p> Note that senders can control whether their own posts are archived, on an individual per-message basis. If the posted message has a <span class="mailheader">X-No-Archive:</span> header (regardless of value), or a <span class="mailheader">X-Archive:</span> header with a value of <code>No</code> (case insensitive), then the message will not be archived, although it will be treated as normal in all other ways. <p> </dd> <dt><strong>archive_private</strong></dt> <dd>Controls whether Pipermail archives are private or public. Private archives require a valid member address and password, or a list administrator password in order to access them. This option has no effect when a third party archiver is used. <p> </dd> <dt><strong>archive_volume_frequency</strong></dt> <dd>Controls how Pipermail splits messages in the archive. The most common option is <em>Monthly</em> meaning a new archive volume is started every month. Very high volume lists may want a shorter frequency (e.g. <em>Weekly</em> or <em>Daily</em>) where as lower volume lists may want a longer frequency (e.g. <em>Yearly</em>). This option has no effect when a third party archiver is used. </dd> </dl> <p> <div class="navigation"> <div class='online-navigation'> <p></p><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="2.8 the Bounce Processing" href="node25.html"><img src='previous.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></a></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="2 the List Configuration" href="node8.html"><img src='up.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Up one Level' width='32' /></a></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="2.10 the Mail/News Gateway" href="node27.html"><img src='next.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></a></td> <td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></a></td> <td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> <td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> </tr></table> <div class='online-navigation'> <b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node25.html">2.8 The Bounce Processing</a> <b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node8.html">2 The List Configuration</a> <b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node27.html">2.10 The Mail/News Gateway</a> </div> </div> <hr /> <span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 14, 2009.</span> </div> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> </body> </html>
