+ The user that Mailman runs under (unually "mailman") must be able to read
+ both the ``settings.py`` and ``settings_local.py`` files. Remember that
+ those files also contain the database passwords, so make sure the
+ permissions are correct. We suggest adding the mailman user to the apache

After having made these changes, you must restart Mailman. Check its log files
to make sure the emails are correctly archived. You should not see "``Broken
archiver: hyperkitty``" messages.
