Yup, the file needs to be called listname.mbox in the directory ~/archives/private/listname.mbox. So for example, to copy the mailman-users archive into your home directory, assuming Mailman was installed in the default location, you would enter a command like: cp /usr/local/mailman/private/mailman-users.mbox/mailman-users.mbox ~ That would give you a file called mailman-users.mbox in your home directory with all the archives in mbox format. If your list is new then after running cleanarch on that mbox file, I would copy it to ~archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox, ensure perms are correct by running check_perms, then run arch with the wipe parameter to build all the HTML indexes for the web pages. If you have a list already, I would stop Mailman, then cat the mbox file in place at the location ~archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox to a copy of your converted archives. I would then run cleanarch on the resulting file, then put that in place in ~archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox before checking perms and running arch with the wipe parameter. Hope this clears things up for you.
