Hi all,
I am currently in the process of testing the migration of our Mailman2.1 instance to a new server, I've migrated the below for a list:
- list configuraiton
- archives
- user membership, Mass Subscription page via a file upload (member address)
I've used the below scripts to export/view this information:
However after much reading docs/web searches I've not been able to confirm how to import for each user their subscription attributes settings on the Membership List page:
- mod
- hide
- nomail
- ack
- not metoo
- nodupes
- digest
- plain
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Daniel

Do not do it that way. To move a list, just move the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file and the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file. The former moves all the list settings, memberships and member settings. The latter allows you to rebuild the pipermail archive with bin/arch.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply detailing how a list should be moved, I'll give that a go and advise my outcome to help anybody else searching how to do the same operation.
Thanks
Daniel
