I deleted a bunch of old lists on our server a while back; found any list that had no messages in the last two years and deleted via rmlist, but first I copied all the list files in /var/lib/mailman/lists to a different archive directory, just in case.
Now 3 months later I’ve gotten a question from someone about "where did this list go?”
How can I restore the list? Is it just a matter of creating a new list with the old name, then replacing the files in that directory with the archived ones? Or will just restprign the directory to /var/lib/mailman/lists suffice? It was not being archived so that is not an issue.
