Thanks for the reply Adam. I have seen those FAQs, and they instruct on moving ALL lists. I have just one list to move. I am able to go into the mailman/lists and mailman/archives directories and pull out just the objects belonging to the list I want to move... but when I look in the mailman/data directory, I cannot identify any files or directories relating to my ONE list. I am concerned that if I copy the entire contents of mailman/data to the new server, I will break something. Part of my problem is my lack of working knowledge with Mailman. Any additional advice or instructions is greatly appreciated. -Jeff

I've not noticed anything too odd between slight versions, although it's something to look out for. For copying, I tend to use rsync. As for fix-up, fix_url and sorting out archives (if applicable) should be done. Perhaps also redirects (http & email) on $OLD_SERVER to $NEW_SERVER. -- ``Any person who knowingly causes a nuclear weapon test explosion or any other nuclear explosion is guilty of an offence....''
