To move a Mailman 2.1.x list from ones server to another running the same or later Mailman, move the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file to the new server. Create the lists/LISTNAME/ directory with the same ownership and permissions as the other lists/* directories. Run bin/withlist -l -r fix_url LISTNAME to fix the host_name and web_page_url of the list for the new server. Move the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file from the old server. Create the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/ directory with the same ownership and permissions as the other archives/private/*.mbox/ directories. Run bin/.arch --wipe LISTNAME to build the pipermail archive. This assumes you have no held messages or pending requests for the list on the old server. If you do have these, it is best to deal with them on the old server before moving. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
