We have a mailman server hosted on a FreeBSD box and need to migrate it an Ubuntu box and change domain names on all the lists.

We have several dozen lists, all under the "foo.org" domain. We need to change "foo.org" to "bar.org"

The current "mail.foo.org" server on FreeBSD is getting long in the tooth, and we need to move anyway to Ubuntu. So I need to set up a new Ubuntu server w/ Postfix, Mailman and Apache and call this server "mail.bar.org" and this will be the MX server for "bar.org".

For each *@foo.org list, I need to move it to the new server, and it's archives to mail.bar.org and that list will be called *@bar.org

This is covered in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.

But I also want to be able to protect users with forwarding.....if they still send mail to their old respective *@foo.org list, how do I configure to foward and process to the new *@bar.org list?

You need to congigure the MX MTA for foo.org with aliases or whatever to forward LIST@foo.org mail to LIST@bar.org for each list.

In mailman, you probably want to set LIST@foo.org in Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> acceptable_aliases for each LIST@bar.org list, although this isn't strictly necessary because current code will accept LIST@foo.org as an explicit destination for LIST@bar.org for backwards compatibility reasons.
