ArchivingΒΆ

Mailman can archive to any number of archivers that adhere to the IArchiver interface. By default, there’s a Pipermail archiver.

>>> mlist = create_list('test@example.com')
>>> transaction.commit()

>>> msg = message_from_string("""\
... From: aperson@example.com
... To: test@example.com
... Subject: My first post
... Message-ID: <first>
...
... First post!
... """)

>>> archiver_queue = config.switchboards['archive']
>>> ignore = archiver_queue.enqueue(msg, {}, listname=mlist.fqdn_listname)

>>> from mailman.queue.archive import ArchiveRunner
>>> from mailman.testing.helpers import make_testable_runner
>>> runner = make_testable_runner(ArchiveRunner)
>>> runner.run()

# The best we can do is verify some landmark exists.  Let's use the
# Pipermail pickle file exists.
>>> listname = mlist.fqdn_listname
>>> import os
>>> os.path.exists(os.path.join(
...     config.PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR, listname, 'pipermail.pck'))
True
