MHonArc Workshop Notes

Getting Started

First things first - You can use MhonArc to convert any existing e-mail file into a web based archive. MhonArc is a set of scripts written in perl. You'll need a DARKWING or GLADSTONE account and something to archive (like a majordomo list, or the contents of a mail folder).
• The Mhonarc/Darkwing Installer for Majordomo lists

  See for example: The fig_38 Archive

  but not: The etango archive

• If you use procmail ...
• Trouble Shooting
• Computer Center Documentation
• So, why would you ever use MhonArc without using the installer?
  • You might want to archive the contents of an existing mailbox
  • You might want to archive a listserv list (listname@oregon.uoregon.edu)
  • You might want to archive a list from some other site
  • You might want to convert existing archive files from text to web form
• An Outline & a Checklist for manual archive creation.

-| Connect to DARKWING | Connect to GLADSTONE|-

Note: you'll need to use SSH to make the connection!

This way lies madness...
