# Mailman2 Archiver

Here's a script to download your mailman2 archive.

## Configuration

To use the script, you will have to create a configuration file containing e.g.

the following:

    BASEURL="https://ourmailmandomain.org/mailman/private"

    LIST="ourmailinglist"

    USERNAME="[email protected]"

    PASSWORD="password123"

You should've gotten the password when you signed up for the mailing list,

otherwise, you can [ask your mailman to send your **plain-text(!!!)** password

to you](http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node16.html).

For user-friendliness, you can add the following Vim and Emacs modelines at the

top of your configuration file:

    # -*- mode: conf-mode -*-

    # vim: set ft=config

## Archiving

Assuming you have a `mailman.conf` and want to archive _everything_, you can

just do:

    $ ./archive.sh

This will create a folder $LIST with the archive under the working directory.

This folder, together with the given configuration file will also be added to a

`.gitignore` in the working directory to discourage you from accidentally

publishing your password.

To specify a configuration file other than `mailman.conf`, use the `-c` or

`--conf` option:

    $ ./archive.sh -c kantinen.org--bestyrelsen.conf

To archive a particular sub-archive, specify it as the follow-up argument. For

instance:

    $ ./archive.sh 2015-March

or

    $ ./archive.sh -c kantinen.org--bestyrelsen.conf 2015-March
