Hello,

I apologize ahead of time for having a question about a "mutilated"
version of mharc. I'll ask anyway, though. :)

I adapted mharc to work together with private mailman lists according
to the instructions at

http://www.byz.org/~sev/Tech/integrating-mharc-and-mailman.html

which worked out quite well.

I'm glad that worked for you.  If you haven't already, you might want to
look in the archives for this list -- that document was discussed here
shortly after it was written and not all the fixes have been integrated.
There are a number of places where that document does things the hard
way when it could have been done with already-existing simple mhonarc
configuration options...

Now, I'd like to add another list not managed by mailman. It is
rather archived in a "regular" manner and shall be password protected
in another way some time soon.
[...]
The info is obiviously exchange in the ${uri} variable namazu and
mharc uses in the NMZ.result.* file. But can I influence these
variables on a per list basis, maybe overwriting the ROOT_URL value in
a $MHA_RC_DIR/<name>.mrc.in file? What statements would I use, then?

I'll let those more expert than I speak to mhonarc- and namazu-specific
solutions for this.  I tend to lean towards symlinks; can you give
mailman a symlink and let it serve those files as if they were one of
mailman's lists that happens to have public archives? (you may also
have to set up a dummy public mailman list with the same name.)  Or
will that make your future-password-protecting plans not possible?
(and: that involves changes to mailman, and I know that in the
year-and-a-half since the integration document was written there've
been several mailman releases; I don't know if those instructions work
right anymore.)
