I think so, yes.

The lists reside at the iglu.org.il and linux.org.il domains which are hosted
at Eskimo. Moving them to beak would imply moving the domains along with
them, as well as the contents of the Sympa database. Assuming this is indeed
the problem, I believe it would be much less headache to just buy more RAM
for Eskimo, assuming it is indeed needed.
