1. I'm planning on testing this with fetchmail, which is a command line POP/IMAP/etc. client. I'd like to minimize the load that I impose on your side and on the bandwidth that I chew up, so could you point me to a mailbox that's (relatively) small? 2. Mailman stores list traffic in standard Unix mbox format. I think it would make sense to export those mboxes (via rsync) on a daily basis to somewhere where they can be accessed via either https or rsync. (Why? Because that way someone attempting to retrieve an entire archive doesn't need to do so one message at a time. And anyone trying to maintain their own local archive can just update it periodically by re-rsync'ing.) ---rsk
