Yes you should do it. If the domain names of the new server are the same as the old, just copy the archives/private/, archives/public/ and lists/ directories from the old server to the new and you're done. If the domains are different, you'll need to run fix_url after copying the directories. Run bin/fix_url.py for instructions. Also, there will be a few links in the archives that point to the old domain. If this is a problem, you can rebuild the archives from the listname.mbox/listname.mbox files with bin/arch. run "bin/arch --help" for info. Since Mailman is apparently already running on the new server, you may not want to copy the site list info (lists/mailman/ or whatever the site list name is) from the old server. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
