How many lists are you converting over? If it's just a few, then it is easy to simply recreate the list in version 2.1 and then export/import the users email addresses once all the 2.1 lists are up and running properly.

In any case, I would recommend that you do start out small - move one or two lists over to a Mailman 2.1 install. That will let you learn more about Mailman and also work out the kinks in moving the lists.

Hello All,

I just inherited a Redhat Linux server running Mailman 2.0.3. I was asked to research why the footers of the messages were not always appearing when a user would post to the list. After doing some testing I found out that only plain text messages were attaching these footers and not messages sent in HTML format. After doing some research on the web. I read the FAQ section and saw the the solution to this problem is to upgrade to Version 2.1.

The main reason for my email is to find out if anyone has or knows where I can find any step by step documentation on how to do the installation process. Being new to the software package as well as this server any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
