How are the mailing list emails stored in Mailman are they stored in a text file or in a database? How can I look at it from the command line? We have to migrate all our mailing lists from Majordomo to Mailman. I was thinking to create new mailing list and then copy/paste all the member email addresses from majordomo to Mailman if it is a text file. Could you please advice me on this. I would really appreciate your help
Thank you.

If you don't have a custom member adaptor, they are stored as part of the Python pickle that stores all the list information - lists/listname/config.pck

Use the admin Membership Management...->Mass Subscription interface to upload (or paste) a plain text file. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.044.htp> for formats - one name<address> per line.

Mark,
Thank you very much for your help. It is good to know that I can use the mass subscription feature and upload a text file with email addresses to subscribe to a mailing list instead of doing a lot of typing.

In the Admin screens of the Mailman web interface, there's a 'mass subscribe' box you can use for this.
