The "list" and its per-list data are all contained, in modern installations of Mailman, in the files in /var/lib/mailman/lists. The files in /var/lib/mailman/data are per-site config. If you set up a working copy of Mailman to which to migrate your lists then this directory will already be properly populated. So what you need to migrate, for each list, are these these two directories: /var/lib/mailman/lists/<listname> /var/lib/mailman/archive/private/<listname> If your list archives are to be public, you'll need to make a symbolic link for each list in /var/lib/mailman/archive/public to the list archive directory in /var/lib/mailman/archive/private If you don't want your archives to be public, don't make this symbolic link. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The first casualty when FMP Computer Services | war comes is truth." 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Hiram W Johnson ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
