Is there an efficient way to change the domain name that mailman is affiliated with?

I would like to move their mailing lists onto their domain. It looks like the process for this is:
- get the list of subscribers
- delete the mailing list from the one domain (losing the archives)
- create the mailing list on the new domain
- subscribe the list of subscribers
This process doesn't seem too difficult, but I would prefer to keep the archives, if possible.
That's unduly complex and disruptive. Don't do any of that.
Both domains are on the same server, running CentOS7 and PLESK 12.5, if that makes a difference.
Note: the following is for standard Mailman. Plesk may be different.
First make sure you have
add_virtualhost('their.web.domain', 'their.email.domain')
im mm_cfg.py.
Then for each affected list you run Mailman's
bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname --urlhost=their.web.domain
That takes care of most of it, but there may be issues with delivery of mail to Mailman. If you use Postfix with Postfix-Mailman integration for automatic generation of aliases and virtual mappings, you probably also want to add 'their.email.domain' to the POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS list in mm_cfg.py. Then running Mailman's
bin/genaliases
is all you need. In other cases, you may need to manually update virtual mappings. Aliases generally don't need to be changed.
