Re: Howto Auto Archive Mail Folders



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This is what i do:
	- filter mail with procmail, sort mailinglists in different
	  folders an forward copies to "special" user "maillists".
	- sort into folders there too
	- cronjob:	- convert the mail to html with mhonarc
			- store them in
			  /var/www/mail/$list/$month$year
			- empty mail-folders for user "maillists"
			- create index with glimpse
	- make it possible to search with some html/cgi

I read mail with emacs/gnus, and have read mail in mailinglists
autoexpired (deleted) after some days, so that the folder keep a
reasonable size.

I can mail you the scripts if you are interested,
