I ran newaliases. Same result.
The alias hs does appear in the /etc/mail/aliases:


Look in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc for how ALIAS_FILE is defined and be sure 
it's defined as being /etc/mail/aliases. On my setup it's simply 
/etc/aliases so a file in /etc/mail would have no effect.

I was under the mistaken impression that your MTA was Postfix. I was
thrown off by the fact the the MTA that attempted to send the post to
Mailman was Postfix.

As you clarified in an off-list PS, you have Sendmail on the Mailman
server, so what's in sendmail's log (the system maillog?) corresponding
to the rejected post?

This was relevant for Postfix, not Sendmail.

>> What's in mm_cfg.py?
mm_cfg.py is empty on the new server.
on the old server it contains:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'visionscience.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'visionscience.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

I added these lines to the new server, but it did not fix the problem.

This is evidently a postfix command. Where do I find/run this? 
"locate postconf" returns nothing.
I do not find a folder /etc/postfix (on either old or new server). How do I 
tell if postfix is installed?
Does the bounce message (below) indicate that postfix is installed?

Great. Did as you suggested.

Then switched DNS to new IP.
Sent first test message to one of the lists (hs), but it bounced. Edited bounce 
message below:

> #< #5.0.0 X-Postfix; host mysite.com[128.xxx.xxx.xxx] said: 553 5.3.0 
> ... User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command)> #SMTP#

I ran newaliases. Same result.

The alias hs does appear in the /etc/mail/aliases:

hs:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post hs"


There is a duplicate definition of the mailman alias, but the two are 
identical. Maybe it makes newaliases unhappy?

Any suggestions?

Very, very grateful for your help.

This needs to be fixed. Everything needs to be Mailman's group

There should be no archives/public files at all; only symlinks.
Ownership of symlinks is irrelevant.

If the old server had actual files in archives/public rather than
symlinks, the best recourse may be to rebuild the archive for those
lists with

 bin/arch --wipe

This doesn't matter. It's the group that's important, not the owner.

See 3.

First, run

 bin/check_perms -f

as root on the new server until it either fixes everything or gets to a
"no change" point. That may be enough, but if there are files left
that aren't in Mailman's group, you can fix thiose by hand.

Re: [Mailman-Users] moving mailman lists to new server, same domain name

[Andrew Watson]

Thanks for the help. It is much appreciated.

I moved the files as planned, and all is well except that some owner and group 
specifications differ on old and new servers.
Specifically:

1)  on the old server, all files in /usr/local/mailman/lists and 
/user/local/mailman/archives have group mailman, but group wheel on the new 
server.

2) on the old server, all archives/public files are owned by www, but on the 
new server by root.

3) on the old server, all .mbox files in archives/private are owned by www, but 
on the new server by root.

4) on the old server, all files in lists are owned by www, but on the new 
server by root.


Should I correct all owner and group states to match the old server?

Andrew

I'm not sure what flavor of cp you're using, but particularly when
copying the archives, you need to specify whatever will copy symlinks
as symlinks and not copy their targets (often -d).

Otherwise, it seems OK.


>Also, does it matter what I selected during installation for the mailman

I don't know what this does. Presumably you are installing a package
and this is meaningful to the package. Perhaps it sets the owner of
the 'mailman'; site list.

The site list owner definitely needs to be a deliverable address that
someone reads. Also, mail to the site list itself from non-members
should be accepted and read by someone.

[Mailman-Users] moving mailman lists to new server, same domain name

[Andrew Watson]

I am moving a number of lists to a new server.
Eventually the new server will have the same domain name as the old, so I don't 
think I need to change urls.
I have read the FAQs, and lots of emails on this list, and I think I know what 
to do, but would like to be sure I am not missing something.
I have installed mailman 2.10 on the new server, and now plan to move the lists 
and archives.
/.migrate contains copies of files from the old server on the new server.
The commands I plan (on the new server) are as follows:

cp -npvR /.migrate/usr/local/mailman/archives/ /usr/local/mailman/archives
cp -npvR /.migrate/usr/local/mailman/lists/ /usr/local/mailman/lists

Sound right?
Is there anything else I need to do?

Also, does it matter what I selected during installation for the mailman 
administrators email? (I accepted default: r...@mydomain.com )

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the
voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the
path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source
of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone
lives in fear. --Harry S Truman

Re: [Mailman-Users] Moving mailman lists

[Patrick Bogen]

As far as I know, there's no 'one click' tool to move lists around,
nor is there anything that will rewrite archives to change the old
domain (that said, a simple sed script could do this, but possibly not
reliably).

See FAQ 3.4

[Mailman-Users] Moving mailman lists

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

Quick Q,

We have an organisation wanting to use our mailman server, but they want
their own domain. Since mailman does not easily do multiple domains, in
the short term they will accept using our domain but later want to
extract their lists and run them under their own domain on their own
mailman server.

So, how easy would it be to "extract" all the setup info and move it to
the new server and convert it to a new list name and a new domain at a
later date?

Does this involve hacking by hand or would it be easy to automate? Is
there already such a tool?

Could the archived items be "cleansed" of the old domain and the new
domain be substituted? (this is probably a secondary requirement)...

Unless this is easy my preference is to let them wait until they get a
new server but they want something "now".

regards

Afteer reading a bit more the FAQ and testing, I found the withlist
commmand and the server print out all the lists.
BUT one error keeps alive:
On the "List archive" main-page, on the link
"You can get more information about this list."
There's the old URL hidden, NOT the new one.
Any hints ?

Hi!

After getting mailman to work proper, I have to move the archive and the
whole lists from the old server to the new one.
I set up a new Debian server and the conf was all done, after that I scp
all the /mailman/lists/* and /mailman/archive/* files to the new server,
changed the owner to root:list on all (list is the mailman user).
Finally I run /mailman/bin/arch on every mailinglist in the list dir.
But after starting mailman daemon and visiting the /mailman/list site on
http, there was NO list listet.
What went wrong?
What do I have to do more?

RE: [Mailman-Users] moving Mailman lists to a new server

[Dave Scott]

I just figured this out and it all worked good.


Basically you have to move the data in your 

/var/lib/mailman/lists/
/var/lib/mailman/archives/
/var/lib/mailman/data/

This is for Debain, change for proper path on your distro
Check paths with 

Locate mailman

This will show you the paths for installed mailman files.

Once you have it moved to the new location you must run

Check_perms -f

This will fix all permission issues, really handy.

Run Check_perms with no -f to make sure everything is kosher.

Now if you changed paths on any of the lists you moved you will need to
resync the lists 

Move_lists "name of list"

That will resync the list.

I didn't have to do anything else other than this, oh yeah, and I moved
data from Mailman 1.1 to Mailman 2.08 in the process and it worked
great.

Hope this helps.

-Dave

Apparently Barry Warsaw wrote a FAQ for this purpose to the
Mailman-Developers list. Does anyone know the date of his posting? Or is
there another source for the best practices to move a list & the related
files to a new server?

Thanks.

[Mailman-Users] Moving Mailman lists to new server

[Matt Thoene]

Hello,

I have MailMan running perfectly on our web server.  Unfortunately the
server needs a total overhaul which includes a re-install of the OS (RedHat
6.2).  After I complete the re-install of RH and MailMan, what is the best
way to get my MailMan files and info back on this box?  Is it just a copy
over of the '/home/mailman/lists' directory?

Thanks.

-Matt
