[TLB is a tool somewhat like bulk_mailer that I wrote some time ago. It
has a weird and complicated configuration mechanism but can do some neat
things.]
No, I use Wilma, which runs nightly and picks up all new messages from the
archive files and runs the indexer.

Options in [abclxyz] are reserved as user options. If you're using a
modification of mj.tlb, just stick something like this near the bottom:
if ($opt_c) {
$send_to_externals = 1;
push(@external_programs,
{
'commandline' => "/path/to/mhonarc -options etc. etc.",
'pipemessage' => 1,
'needsfrom' => 1,
}
);
}
Actually I'm not sure if MHonArc wants the From_ separator in a single
message; if it doesn't, remove the 'needsfrom'. Remember that you have
$list_name available to pass to MHonArc.

You can mkdir the directory in the $opt_c code above, I suppose. You could
also wrap or hack mhonarc to do it.

Someone once came up with a way to pass TLB options down from the resend
command line. I don't recall how this worked, though. In your case,
you'll probably need to hack majordomo.cf to pass the appropriate flags for
the appropriate lists.
