Hello,
I am looking for a good search module to integrate with mailman - this company was previously using htdig which worked ok, but the project has been dead for some time now I see.

I also see swish-e appears to integrate with mailman quite well and I'm excited to get it going.

I have a new server with a few test lists, and trying to integrate swish-e into my archives.
One requirement I have is that swish-e will only search the indexes for the current list, and not all my lists (I have public and private lists).  It seems like my config will create one big index file of all my lists.

I have followed the steps here but get stuck with server side <!--# include --> part, my server does not render it:

http://wpkg.org/Integrating_Mailman_with_a_Swish-e_search_engine

Working with the index.html in my archive, I can include the HTML and get a search to come up, but the links to the posts have the /mailman/ directory in the URL before the pipermail/ part, so the links fail.

So - main question - following the setup link above, should this setup search only the current list's archives?

And if so - any hints on getting the Server Side include to work?  

Thanks in advance!!



Here are my conf files: (RHEL5)

from /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf

Alias /pipermail/       /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/
