What I'm doing is, for every list, subscribing m_list1@domain.com to
list@domain.com.  Then using a cronjob, I do something like:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/m_list1/Maildir/new
/usr/local/bin/mhonarc -outdir /www/domain/list1

cd /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/m_list2/Maildir/new
/usr/local/bin/mhonarc -outdir /www/domain/list2

etc.

The problem that I see with using the ./archive/n directories is that
you'll have to change your script whenever ezmlm decides to start
archiving in ./archive/n+1.

I believe there is a more elegant way to do this, by editing the
./list/editor file, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

See Mhonarc's resources.

The mhonarc documentation is among the best I've ever seen.  I'm not
much past beginner level, but everything is clear to me and works just
the way it says it does.  However, there is a lot of it, so it's best 
to
take your time when reading.
