Hello,
I have finally gotten mailman running on RHES 3.0. I need to move and convert MD lists from an old Alpha/DU system to my current server. Has any one done this before? I seem to recall a link in the archives but can no longer find it.
TIA,
Bill

I've just done a bunch of these conversions. First create the new list. On the list admin page use Membership Management->Mass Subscription to import your existing list members. You can either cut and paste the original list member names or upload the file directly.
There is no way to directly import the .config file AFAIK, but setting up the list options is pretty trivial. I found the whole process took all of 5-minutes per list.

Which is all very well with a small number of lists, but earlier this year I had to convert something like 800 lists. I wrote a small script that would automate most of it for me, available at http://quark.humbug.org.au/publications/scripts/mailman/majordomo2mailman. It assumes you have an extract of the majordomo aliases file, as well as the config and subscriber lists. Please note is pretty rough and ready, but mostly worked for me. It might require a bit of hacking to work in your environment.
We also hacked up a quick majordomo answer script, which did handle the basic subscribe / unsubscribe functions, and gave back an error message telling people where to look for more information for anything it didn't understand (which was quite a bit).
Thanks, Brad
