Archive Server

Commands are sent to the archive server by sending a message to the -request address of the list with the word 'archive' as the subject line. The archive server understands 5 basic commands.
These commands are:

get file <filenames>: Retrieve a file from the archive server.
ls directory <directorys>: List the contents of one of the archive servers directories.
egrep <case insensitive regular expression> <files>: Search the listed filenames for the regular expression, and return the filenames of the files that match.
maxfiles <number>: Do not send more than <number> files in this message.
help: Send me more helpful information on how to use this thing.

To create an archive server, add the files (or directories) you wish to add to the server to the ~slist/listname/archive directory. If the file contains a mail header starting with a 'Content-Type:' line, the file will be sent out as-is, otherwise it will be MIME-encapsulated before transmission, the recognised file types are listed in ~slist/.bin/mimencap.local.

To restrict access to the archive server, uncomment the "restrict_archive" line in rc.custom, this will allow only people on the accept and accept2 files to access the archive server.
