Don't taint the provenance... just as your archive contains only yours,
this file should only contain messages from newby's server:

You can host your own archives wherever, and people will pick them up
and re-host them wherever.

You can blend the html index if you want, because it's just a human
interface, not a critical source archive.

People...
Don't use procmail, it sucks. Maildrop is better.
Don't use mbox, it sucks. Maildir is better.

   I still use procmail, a bit, but I don't have a strong opinion there.
   I always use mbox format.  I find it very scalable, although I do roll
   over to new files every 200MB.  Dovecot indexes so well that I'm pretty
   sure it is faster.  Plus, it is likely much faster for backups etc.

It's all good. Thanks for the maildrop hint. I'll use Maildir when I'm
up to speed with notmuch, but not before - Maildirs are too slow
otherwise for me.

Finally - can the new cpunks admin please add a standard
subscribe/unsubscribe footer? I referred a friend and they got a
rejection on subscription request, so I'm thinking they might have tried
using the old domain. Sent them the new mailman url.
