I have mailman with postfix running on a 32-bit RHEL 5 system. I need to move it to a new 64-bit system. Is there a way to do so without losing the data, configurations, etc I already have? I have some Linux experience, but this my first foray into managing a list server (or any type of mail server).

If you are currently running the RedHat rpm package, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB> for where to find things.
What you need to do is install Mailman on the new server. Do not create any lists other than possibly the 'mailman' site list.
Move the contents of the lists/ and archives/private/ directories (except maybe for the 'mailman/' and 'mailman.mbox/' directories) from the old server to the new.
If the domain name isn't changing, that's all you need to do. If the domain is changing, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.
