Somehow I missed this from http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/
It should be made clearer.
I have a bunch of emails from another system that I wish to import
to mailman.
Not a problem. The answer is in the FAQ.
Aha!

I wonder how I convert my messages which are individual files to a mbox?
Just cat them?
I don't think I have access to mailman directly as my hosting company
set it up for me. So any tips of how I send these mails and maintain the
date?
That's a problem. If you want to import archives from another
list, you have to have command-line access. In this case, you'd have
to ask your hosting company to do it for you.
Oh no.
The issue here is that Mailman was never designed to be abused in
the way that hosting companies are now doing. It was intended to be
something that an organization sets up for itself, and where you've
got complete control over everything yourself. It was never intended
to be used in a hosting environment. People who abuse it in that way
need to provide a lot of support to their hosting customers,
otherwise you lose much of the functionality.
Please! I think it is a bit harsh to call it abuse.
Ideally there should be a mail or Web interface for this feature.
