<h2><a name="SECTION002290000000000000000">
2.9 The Archiving Options Category</a>
</h2>

<p>
Mailman comes with a built-in web-based archiver called
<em>Pipermail</em>, although it can be configured to use external,
third party archivers.

<p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>archive</strong></dt>
<dd>This option tells Mailman whether to archive messages it receives
    or not, regardless of whether Pipermail or a third party archiver
    is used.  Turn this off if you don't want to archive messages.

<p>
Note that senders can control whether their own posts are
    archived, on an individual per-message basis.  If the posted
    message has a <span class="mailheader">X-No-Archive:</span> header (regardless of
    value), or a <span class="mailheader">X-Archive:</span> header with a value of
    <code>No</code> (case insensitive), then the message will not be
    archived, although it will be treated as normal in all other
    ways.

<p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>archive_private</strong></dt>
<dd>Controls whether Pipermail archives are private or public.
    Private archives require a valid member address and password, or a
    list administrator password in order to access them.  This
    option has no effect when a third party archiver is used.

<p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>archive_volume_frequency</strong></dt>
<dd>Controls how Pipermail splits messages in the archive.  The most
    common option is <em>Monthly</em> meaning a new archive volume is
    started every month.  Very high volume lists may want a shorter
    frequency (e.g. <em>Weekly</em> or <em>Daily</em>) where as lower
    volume lists may want a longer frequency (e.g. <em>Yearly</em>).
    This option has no effect when a third party archiver is used.
</dd>
