archiving ezmlm lists

2005-11-13 14:04:12
I'm trying to archive an ezmlm list using mhonarc/mharc, via the mail spool functionality, rather than reading ezmlm's archives directly. Searching the mharc and mhonarc list archives has produced references to using mhonarc's MH support, but this is inconsistent with how I've set it up. For security reasons, mharc/mhonarc run as a user, and ezmlm runs as a different user, and I want the ezmlm archives hidden from other users, so a direct read isn't appropriate.

OLD SETUP:
lib/lists.def:
Name: abbydisc
Description: Discussion List
Address: abbydisc(_at_)goldblatt(_dot_)net

produced this:
log/procmail.log
From abbydisc-return-17-mhonarc=abbygrrl(_dot_)goldblatt(_dot_)net(_at_)goldblatt(_dot_)net Sun Nov 13 19:17:58 2005

How do I set up lists.def to convince procmail to sort the mail correctly? I'd prefer a lists.def solution to make upgrades and whatnot easier, without having to protect procmail.

If necessary I can use a procmail rewrite in ~/.procmailrc (which INCLUDERC's mharc's auto-generated lists) to do a rewrite to fix this problem, but I'm not a good enough procmail chef to be able to know what it would look like.

Thank you.
