Hi All-- One of my lists is moving to Yahoo, and I'm wondering if there is a way to integrate the Mailman archives with the Yahoo archives. I can always post the zip files in the files section, but it would make the transition easier for the listmembers if the archives could be integrated.
Since this isn't very on-topic, please reply offlist.
Thanks!
Metta, Ivan

Mailman keeps the raw archives in 7th edition mbox format, which might potentially be something that could be imported into Yahoo! groups. You'd have to ask them to be sure.
In some cases, site admins do not configure Mailman to keep both raw archives and send messages to the "cooked" archive processor (either the built-in pipermail or an external archiver like mhonarc), so you might have to reconstruct the archives into a format that Yahoo! can import.
The big thing you'll need to find out is whether or not Yahoo! is actually capable of importing any archives, or if you will have to provide that information in some other way.
And that's not something we can help you with.
