Dear list,
currently, when I create a new mailing list with MM3 the value for
"Archive policy" is always set to "Public archives". I'd like to change
the default value for "Archive policy" to "Do not archive this list".
How can I do this? In Debian 12 I find in
</usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/postorius/forms/list_forms.py>:
...
but have no idea how to change the settings here. Your help is very
appreciated.
Are you creating the list in Postorius. If so, you have a choice for
list style. Currently those choices are:
```
Announce only mailing list style.
Ordinary discussion mailing list style.
Discussion mailing list style with private archives.
```
There is currently no style for a list without archives, but you can
implement one. See the thread at
https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/Q6QVDWCY3MXPGWEIDWZ277SS3FPJCUVT/
for hints on how to do this with a plugin.
Alternatively, you can do it with a patch like:
```

If you are creating lists from the command line `mailman create`, there
is a --style-name option to specify the style.
