Where's that d@mn3d horse? Close that stable door!
It is good practice to keep some part of one's online presence on another web resource so as to not "put all of ones eggs in the one basket".
I have had this brought home in spades today as dreamhost's Mailman system is down and of course I could not tell my users ...
As an interim I have set up an announce-only list via yahoogroups; ok for now but definitely not my preference. I have also set up a remote "health-check" for the rest of my servers via host-tracker.com.
My question is, does anyone know of - or operate - an alternative list-status listserv?
If not, how about an informal list-twinning service? Pairs of list admins agree to provide the other with a low traffic text-only list on the other's servers so we can each maintain an offsite status list?
Wotcha fink, then?

Not a bad idea. I have a friend who likes to write scripts, so I set up a cron job to send him the union of some of my mailing list subscriber lists and he automatically changes that into a sendmail alias so I can use his system for announcing that my system is down.

Finally, I may have a question who's answer may help others!! -:)

It depends on whether or not you have access to the underlying file system. If you do, <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp> is relevant. The mailman installation is said to be at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman.
If you don't have access to the file system and can't enlist the help of someone who does, you have to delete the list and it's archives and then recreate the list.

Allow me to ask this regarding Archives
As stated I have some lists I created to replace what was being done by Smartlist, and the SmartList archive is extensive.. One going back maybe 8 years.
Is there a feasible way to import the old archives into MailMan archives in some fashion ??
I Guess I would like to have a yealry volume..
THANKS
Dave
