Re: [hypermail] Autoupdate - Alias File

Why don't you define the path with the date components in the Hypermail config file name hmrc.groupN, i.e. with the alias

"|/usr/local/bin/hypermail -i -u -c /path/to/hmrc.groupN"

which contains

dir = /var/spool/mailman/groups/n/%y/%M

and

label = N List Archive

I used to use the macros directly in the aliases file, but it just scared me too much to depend on something that looked like a hack, so I went with this.

Good luck.
