I've gone over the FAQ on moving archives. Since I don't have actual access to /archives on my system (shared hosting), I'm going to have to ask Support to do what's necessary. I can make sure everything is in mbox format. However, I have archives going back to 1996 from several different mailing list programs (listserv, majordomo, and mailman).
Specifically, my question is: How is /archives/private/[list].mbox/[list].mbox actually structured? The FAQ makes it sound like it is one giant mbox file. Also, there are two [list].mbox in the path. The first is a subdirectory of /archives/private. The second is the actual mbox file. Are they both really the exact same name? I have new volume numbers for each year, and the archives are set to show all posts per month. Does /archives/private reflect that via subdirectories? For example, /archives/private/[list]/2005-October/[message_number].html would be the path for a current message. Is that how I should have the past posts uploaded? That is, /archives/private/[list]/year-month/[list].mbox where I've zipped the file so that the year-month is a subdirectory containing an mbox with the messages for that time period. Or should I give Support one big mbox with all the messages, the instructions on what to do from the FAQ, and assume Mailman will figure it out? Am I out of my mind thinking this can be done? I'll take a "no comment" as a "yes" :). I would really like to do this if it's possible.
