Summary: MySQL MemberAdaptor for Mailman 2.1
Initial Comment:
A MemberAdaptor "plugin" which should allow Mailman list members
to be loaded from a MySQL database, rather than just a Mailman
"pickle" file.
Provided as-is, and without warranty, this "plugin" may destroy your
server, soul, scalp, house, and life. Please use it with caution.

The flat file databases are unused when you put the MySQL adaptor in
place, and they are untouched (and indeed not deleted) by it, the MySQL
adaptor only queries the MySQL tables for membership information, without
trying to force you into using it fulltime by deleting anything, etc.
Once you unconfigure the MySQL adaptor, Mailman should revert back to
your existing flat file databases.
Of course, I could have missed something, etc. so do back up your flat file
databases before installing the MySQL adaptor, and then you can just
migrate back to them by restoring the backups.
Either way, you have come up with a good question for an FAQ on the SQL
adaptor :-)

neat. just what i was looking for. i have a couple of live
lists running on version version 2.1.5. i am a bit leary
about unzipping this distrobution over the top of my working
mailman as i am not sure how to backup the existing flat
file databases. i would prefer to experiment with dropping
the adapter into my existing installation. any pointers as
to where to start? thx

Oh, btw. v1.57 hasn't been tested yet, so it might kill your
server, eat your dog, and stick your wife in the oven. Be
careful using it!
