You should search the Mailman FAQ Wizard at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py> before posting questions like this. > I have a bunch of emails from another system that I wish to import >to mailman.

That's a problem. If you want to import archives from another list, you have to have command-line access. In this case, you'd have to ask your hosting company to do it for you. The issue here is that Mailman was never designed to be abused in the way that hosting companies are now doing. It was intended to be something that an organization sets up for itself, and where you've got complete control over everything yourself. It was never intended to be used in a hosting environment. People who abuse it in that way need to provide a lot of support to their hosting customers, otherwise you lose much of the functionality. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
