converting mbox archive to mailman archive
I've asked this question once or twice before, but no response yet. How do I manually convert a standard, previously existing, concatenated MBOX format archive into a mailman archive?
Also, no response to my question about mailman 2-beta2
Posts that must be approved by administrator do not make it into the archive.
- is this is a known bug?
- Is there a way to take the <list>.mbox file (which appears to be okay
for whatever strange reason..) and manually just add the messages that are not in the pipermail archive to the pipermail archive?
try using the ~mailman/bin/arch program.

According to Doug Hughes:

The "arch" command in Mailman's bin directory does this trick, at least that is/was the case in earlier version:
mailman> ~/bin/arch usage: arch <listname> <mbox>
Also, no response to my question about mailman 2-beta2

Sorry, I can't answer that. Maybe this should be entered into Mailman's bug database.

~/bin/arch list list.mbox
would do that. The arch command does not check for duplicates, so you may want to copy a selection of mails into another mailbox and run the arch command with that file.
Hope that helps.

These are the aliases that mailman 1.1 recommends:
test: "|/opt/mailman-1.1/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/opt/mailman-1.1/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/opt/mailman-1.1/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" owner-test: test-admin test-owner: test-admin
Shouldn't the "owner-" and "-owner" addresses go to the "wrapper mailowner" program? Otherwise the system isn't processing all the bounces.

Look at it carefully. "test-owner" is aliased to "test-admin", what is "test-admin" aliased to?
