The first time the list is accessed by Mailman on the new server, Mailman will convert the config.db to a current config.pck. This access can be due to a post, subscribe, unsubscribe, web admin access, etc. It doesn't matter - the conversion will be done transparently. After the list has been accessed and there are config.pck and config.pck.last files in the lists/listname directory, it is a good idea to remove the config.db and config.db.last files. There is a remote possibility that at some future time, there could be a problem accessing the config.pck* files and Mailman would fall back to the now out of date config.db, so its better if the config.db* files are removed. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
