It is normally not recommended to copy the data directory. In any case, I *think* when you start mailman the last_mailman_version file will be overwritten, and this file is only used to determine whether to run bin/update when you install a new version. If the file is not overwritten it would be good to restore the original data. > I have not done extensive testing with the lists I >copied, >but I had no trouble accessing the admin web pages for a few lists. >Given that the Lucid installation is 2.1.13, should the >last_mailman_version be set back to "0x2010df0"?

It doesn't downgrade, but that won't be a problem here. -- Mark Sapiro - m...@msapiro.net Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
