Has anyone considered setting up a Dovecot public server to serve the list archives by IMAP? Or does Dovecot not do anonymous read-only access? (I note by comparison that the Cyrusoft Mulberry list archives are served by an IMAP server. <http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/support/anonimap.html>) It should be sufficient to set up Dovecot on some server in the dovecot.org domain and subscribe it to the lists.

Now dovecot.org runs in different server so I guess I could put it back using 0.99.10. Or maybe 1.0-tests once it's mbox code is working well.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you just subscribe a dummy user on the IMAP server and point the anonymous directory to that user, you should be able to decouple that. If the result doesn't use mbox, then use your favorite conversion utility to migrate the existing archive before subscribing.
