[Mailman-Users] migrating Mailman

[Anna Fong]

Hi Stephane,

Thanks for your reply.  I had much trouble when I tried it -- I was
migrating to another version on another machine owned by someone else, so
updating the path info was critical.  The move_list utility was suppose to
update the config.db but it didn't work correctly.  I've moved my
non-critical lists by starting with a new list and then dropping in the
/archives and /lists files for each but am hesitating on moving my one
critical list -- I really don't want to start from scratch with that one.
