Bug Description
I just noticed disappearing disk space under /var on
my Debian system running mailman 2.1.7... :-)
Investigation reveals lots of space tied up
under /var/lib/
ents/<yyyymmdd>
containing an attachment causes the attachment to be
stashed here in the archive tree, even when archiving
is disabled (and nothing else in the archives tree is
getting updated).
I do not believe it is correct behavior for
attachments to be saved in these circumstances.
Thanks,
Scott Bailey

This is expected behavior. The scrubber saves attachments in private/ <listname> /attachments/ directory. This
the archives/
happens for all messages if scrub_nondigest is Yes, and for
all plain digests in any case even if the list does not do
archiving.
If you allow attachments at all, the only way to avoid this
is to set both scrub_nondigest and digestable to No. I.e,
don't scrub individual messages and don't allow digests.
