According to Doug Hughes:
I've asked this question once or twice before, but no response yet. How do I manually convert a standard, previously existing, concatenated MBOX format archive into a mailman archive?
The "arch" command in Mailman's bin directory does this trick, at least that is/was the case in earlier version:
mailman> ~/bin/arch usage: arch <listname> <mbox>
Also, no response to my question about mailman 2-beta2
Posts that must be approved by administrator do not make it into the archive.
- is this is a known bug? Sorry, I can't answer that. Maybe this should be entered into Mailman's bug database.
- Is there a way to take the <list>.mbox file (which appears to be okay for whatever strange reason..) and manually just add the messages that are not in the pipermail archive to the pipermail archive?
~/bin/arch list list.mbox
would do that. The arch command does not check for duplicates, so you may want to copy a selection of mails into another mailbox and run the arch command with that file.
Hope that helps.
