Migrating Mailman lists from one server to another
We are in the process of upgrading our mailing server with a new machine. This system is also running an updated version of the operating system (RHEL-8 vs RHEL-6.)
We have numerous Mailman mailing lists, along with their associated configurations, and archives. Fortunately, the archives are located on a networked file system, so we don't have to move those files.
However, I would like to be able to just "copy and paste", if you will, the entire configuration from one server to the other so that we don't have to reconfigure anything. Is this possible? If so, are there any detailed instructions for it posted anywhere?
Thanks!

OK.

Basically, just "copy and paste" the /var/lib/mailman/lists directory from the old machine to the new. Also see https://wiki.list.org/x/4030682.
