I understand this is the "right way" to do this. Unfortunately, Plesk has not written the code to make this happen as part of their migration process. However, you have given me an idea. I think I will:
- Make sure I have backups of all the lists ( have an rsync of the entire source server) - Delete our three lists from the source server - Perform the Plesk Migration to bring all of our domains to the new server - Add the three lists to the new server using the process you mention here This allows me to use Plesk for most of the migration and manually move the mailman lists - the "right way".
