1. Backup /lists and /archives directories and config.db for each list 2. Use newlist utility to create a list for each 3. Drop in /lists and /archives directories in appropriate locations (see original lists for pathing) 4. Replace config.db with backup copy for each
If paths are same -- 5. Use move_list utility to update config.db for each If paths are different -- 5. Use withlist utility in script to update config.db for each Sample scripts available at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-August/002009.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-April/018960.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-April/018998.html Hope this helps, Anna -------------------------------------------------------- Anna Q.
