Re: [Mailman-Users] Moving Listproc lists
According to Greg Connor:
I did it all by hand on my system... here are the commands I used to transfer users, as closely as I can remember...
Thanks a lot, in the meantime I moved the subscribers of the first few lists (100 more to go :) using a modified add_members:
./add_members --lp6 lists/LIST1/.subscribers list1
Only one file, add_members, had to be modified. This maps
ACK, NOACK -> normal subscriptions DIGEST -> digest subscriptions
and keeps the original password. Addresses are converted to lower case.
I will offer this version to the developers, maybe it will show up in the next version.
Right now, POSTPONE'd entries are dropped and the CONCEAL flag is ignored, keeping this information requires modifications in other parts of Mailman. I'm not sure if I'll try that, maybe not...
Also, I had problems subbing more than 20 people at a time; all would get subbed, but only 20 or so would get welcome messages (containing their new random password). If you think you might have this problem too, use something like this instead..
Hmm... Thanks for the hint. The sendmail logs tell me that everyone in a list with 167 members should have received their welcome messages by now, so this might be a bug in other versions. The bug archive didn't mention anything about that. (I'm using 1.0b8, the original add_members was pulled out of CVS yesterday.)
