Thanks, that make sense, Also is there any way to turn that off via command line for a bunch of lists or just in the GUi, I looked at "'mailman shell --details:" but could not find a command to turn it off.

I had archives off on my lists in mailman 2, and when I import they stayed off, but the archiver is enabled.

The HyperKitty and Prototype archivers are enabled by default for new and imported lists. To change that, add

[archiver.hyperkitty]
enable: no
[archiver.prototype]
enable: no

to mailman.cfg.

I have a script that pulls all the list configs "curl --user *******:******* http://127.0.0.1:##/3.1/lists/"$i"/config | python3 -m json.tool >> ${OUTPUT_DATA_DIR}/listconfigs.txt

Then I look to see if any list has changed this setting "archive_policy": "never", so I know if any list admin has enabled archives...

But is there a setting in the config that shows if the archiver got turned on? I want to know if anyone turns it on after I turn it off

You can do the following in mailman shell

$ mm/bin/mailman shell
Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell
Use commit() to commit changes.
Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit.
Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not.

 >>>for mlist in getUtility(IListManager):
...     print(mlist.display_name)
...     print(f'    ArchivePolicy was {mlist.archive_policy}')
...     if mlist.archive_policy != ArchivePolicy.never:
...         mlist.archive_policy = ArchivePolicy.never
...         print('        set to ArchivePolicy.never')
...     aset = IListArchiverSet(mlist)
...     for ar in aset.archivers:
...         if ar.is_enabled:
...             ar.is_enabled = False
...             print(f'    Archiver {ar.name} was enabled; set disabled')
...
 >>> commit()
