[Mailman-Users] I have to rename and give a new IP address to my machine ...

[Paul L. Schumacher]

I am have set everything up on this machine that I am sending this email
from.  (linux2.winona.msus.edu)  My old machine is
(linux.winona.msus.edu).  They have separate IP's in the same domain.  My
old machine has my old lists (in Majordomo), which I have resetup as
mailman lists on the new machine.  I want to switch over to the new
machine transparently to the users.  I was going to pull the plug on the
old machine, rename the new box and give it the old IP.

I found out the webpages have bad links, and something is wrong with the
aliases too, I think.

hope this makes things clearer.
