Mailman works well for our mailing lists, but the archive is unacceptable - the worst thing is lack of search function.
I got one tip for this:
1) emails converted to html format with mhonarc 2) search can be done with htdig
Opinions? Maybe there are better software solutions for this - I hope.

add a search form to the archive page header that uses a google search w/ site:your.archive.site.com

markmail.org works pretty well for searching, as does gmane.org... with gmane having the added benefit of providing a bi-directional mail2news gateway so you can read & post mailing lists as newsgroups, plus you can browse and post from their web interface.
HTH,

Hm, markmail.org does not seem to work for this, as our mailing list archive is not public. They might accept restricted-access lists, but probably for a fee... I am looking for a free solution.

Sorry, I thought you meant 'this' mailing list...

Didn't catch that you meant a private mailing list archive.

Hello Jussi,
If searching on a local archive on your host consider grepmail.

Hei,
There should be a web interface - sorry for not saying this before. I am looking for a web app where people can search the archive (which is in mbox format), and the app would return matching emails. The interface should be easy enough for non-geeks.
