[Mailman-Users] List restoration help needed ASAP

[Dan Mick]

Well, or if what Shaun means is "mailman is installed, now I just need to move
the lists", copy over lists/ and archives/ and you should be mostly
there.  Run bin/check_perms after, and if the home dir of mailman has
changed, use bin/move_list to update the list home path.  That should
be about it.
