As I mentioned in my last post to this thread, I already solved my
problem. I know ezmlm-cgi has many drawbacks, which is why I finally
decided to switch to ezmlm-browse.

I just ran aptitude show mhonarc, and all it really tells me is that
it's a pearl-based mail to html archiver. How well does it integrate
into ezmlm-idx?

According to aptitude show mailman, it depends on exim4, and I'm not
dumping my existing qmail install, which is nicely doing all I need it
to do, in favor of exim, which is arguably less secure than qmail,
just so I can install mailman, so that's not an option. I won't even
mention the task of converting ezmlm subscriptions and archives over
to mailman.

I agree, like I said, I'm not too happy with ezmlm-cgi, thus the
switch away from it. Thanks for your suggestions, and input.
