[Mailman-Users] Help! No posts after migrating Mailman list

[Anna Fong]

There are no posts after migrating Mailman list. 
Help!

Our organization has two versions of Mailman on two
different servers, both running production lists.  I
wanted to move my production lists off of my server
which is running an older version of Mailman to my
colleague's server.

Before I actually moved my production lists, I set up
a test list called migration_test.  I was able to post
to migration_test.  But once I moved migration_test, I
was no longer able to get posts to migration_test
though Mailman did send welcome and admin messages. 
Additional info below.

Thanks in advance,
Anna
