Hi,
Sorry for being thick but I don't fully understand your question.
Are you looking for a facility to show a history of your mailings to the mailing list?

Sorry if I didn't explain myself. I posted a question on the 'e-mail' section of this forum, but I never received an answer.
I'm just setting up a mailing list, and I want to have a digest format and an archives as well as the actual mailing list. I have the mailing list set up, but I can't figure out how to set up the digest and archives and, hopefully, a search engine for the archives.
My host company uses DirectAdmin, and they have majordomo set up on the site to be readily available to use as a mailing list so I set it up, but I could not find information regarding setting up the archives and digest.
This is what my configuration file for majordomo states:
***************
# archive_dir [absolute_dir] (undef) <majordomo>
# The directory where the mailing list archive is kept. This item
# does not currently work. Leave it blank.
archive_dir =
***************
# digest_archive [absolute_dir] (undef) <digest>
# The directory where the digest archive is kept. This item does
# not currently work. Leave it blank.
digest_archive =
***************
# digest_rm_footer [word] (undef) <digest>
# The value is the name of the list that applies the header and
# footers to the messages that are received by digest. This allows
# the list supplied headers and footers to be stripped before the
# messages are included in the digest.
digest_rm_footer =
# digest_rm_fronter [word] (undef) <digest>
# Works just like digest_rm_footer, except it removes the front
# material.
digest_rm_fronter =
***************
# digest_work_dir [absolute_dir] (undef) <digest>
# The directory used as scratch space for digest. Don't change
# this unless you know what you are doing
digest_work_dir =
***************
$digest_work_dir = "/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/digest";
$digest_work_dir is a temporary directory where digest files should be placed; this directory should be assigned to wherever you want digests to be stored.
***************
Can anyone give me directions regarding how I can easily set up the archives and digest? I tried looking through the FAQ information and the forums on the majordomo site, but I couldn't understand it.
I saw in the above DA forum response that it looked as though DA couldn't do it in Feb., 2004, but I was hoping that they would have set it up by now - or at least be able to explain to customers how to set it up.
Thanks, and again I apologize for not making myself clear.
